A Rajasthan MLA's salary is ₹40,000 a month (from 1 Apr 2019) and a former MLA's minimum pension ₹35,000 — Rajasthan Legislative Assembly (Officers and Members Emoluments and Pension) (Amendment) Act 2019. Constituency, daily and telephone allowances are paid separately.
The announced 10% rise
On 27 Feb 2026 the Chief Minister announced a 10% rise in the honorarium of Panchayati Raj and municipal heads and members. As of 28 Sep 2026 we found no order implementing it, so the rates above are those in force from 1 Apr 2025 — we will update once the order is issued.
