STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The Salary, Allowances and Pension of Members of Legislative
Assembly (Puducherry) Act, 1964 was amended on 6th June 2010 by
Act No. 6 of 2010, by which the quantum of salary, allowances and
pension of Members and former Members of Puducherry Legislative
Assembly was revised with effect from 9-2-2007, at par with the
rates prevailing in the adjacent State of Tamil Nadu. In the case of
Tamil Nadu, where a former member expired either before or after
1st day of April 1999 (the date on which family pension was introduced)
his family is entitled to family pension of ` 5,000 per mensum.
At the time of amendment in June 2010 this provision in the Tamil
Nadu Act was overlooked and was not incorporated in Puducherry Act.
Based on the requests received for extending similar benefits in
Puducherry, it is proposed to extend the family pension to the family
of former members who died prior to 9-2-2007 also, with the
condition that the pecuniary benefits will accrue with effect from
9-2-2007 only.
The Bill seeks to achieve the above object.
N. RANGASAMY,
Chief Minister.
FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM
The proposed provision for giving family pension to the family
of former Members who died prior to 9-2-2007 would involve a
recurring expenditure of ` 13.80 lakh (Rupees thirteen lakh and eighty
thousand only) per annum approximately from the Consolidated Fund.
