MP’s/ MLA’s Perquisites & Salaries
It is well known that MPs are paid many allowances such as Petrol Allowance, Electricity Allowance, Telephone Allowance, Daily Allowance, highly subzidised housing and cafeteria, etc etc besides heavy salaries at par with highest paid govt employees. They are not required to give any certificate to the effect that their actual expenses under those heads were not less than the allowances thus claimed by them and hence they save lot of money for their personal benefit through these allowances. Will any RTI activist like to file an RTI application with appropriate govt agency to know the basis on which these allowances were sanctioned for MPs and steps taken by govt to ensure that these allowances have not become a source of personal benefit to MPs. This is important in view of the controversy recently raised by some congress ministers reg Kiran Bedi having saved some money from travelling costs due to her for use of her NGO.
Dear Sir,
I do not see why this RTI request, needs to be anonymous. I would request you to file this RTI request yourself. You can look at the various examples from the Filed RTI section
RTI-A is an organization, meant to help RTI activists from any harm (physical or otherwise) , by filing the RTI’s in our name
