Former Members of Parliament are entitled to receive pension as ex-MPs even if they are getting pension as former MLAs or MLCs, according to an RTI reply.

According to information received from the Rajya Sabha Secretariat through the RTI application, the pension of former MPs is regulated under Salary, Allowances and Pension of Members of Parliament Act 1954.

According to the Act, a former MP getting any other pension is also entitled to receive pension as an ex-MP.

Members' Salary and Allowances Branch said the department does not keep any record of former MPs also receiving pension as former MLA or MLC.
