Delhi govt approves salary hike for MLAs

New Delhi, Aug 3: Delhi MLAs will now get Rs 90,000 per month as salary and allowances with the Arvind Kejriwal government approving a hike cap recommended by the Centre on Tuesday.
Earlier, each MLA was getting Rs 53,000, including Rs 12,000 as salary and the remaining amount as allowances, the government said in a statement.
With this hike, each legislator will get Rs 30,000 as salary and allowances totalling Rs 60,000, it said.
