In force · As amended up to 2026-08

1. Subs. by Act 37 of 1977, s. 2, for section 11 (w.e.f. 9-12-1977). STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS "Ministers of Government have subjected themselves since November, 1949 to voluntary cut in their salary fixed by the Salaries of Ministers Act, 1947, as amended by the Salaries of Ministers (Amendment) Act, 1950. It has been now decided that the salaries should not be statutorily reduced. In addition to their salaries Ministers have, by the issue of executive instructions, been given certain privileges, such as free medical attendance and advances for the purchase of motor cars. It is considered necessary that such privileges should be formally laid down by Statute instead of being regulated by Executive Orders. The Bill seeks to achieve these purposes". NEW DELHI: The 23 rd July , 1952. KAILAS NATH KATJU.
