The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly has formally withdrawn two bills that sought to revise the remuneration of state ministers and legislators.
The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly announced the withdrawal of two pending bills that aimed to alter the salary structure for the Union Territory's ministers and members of the legislative assembly. The decision was taken during a session of the assembly, where the proposals were formally shelved.
The withdrawn bills had intended to increase the basic pay and allowances of the executive and legislative members, reflecting recent demands for parity with other Indian states. No amendment to the existing remuneration schedule will take effect until a new proposal is introduced and approved.
With the bills withdrawn, the current salary framework for ministers and MLAs remains unchanged, and the assembly will revisit the issue in a future session if deemed necessary.
