MCD councillors' allowance revised from ₹300-₹25,000

While they do not receive salaries, the 250 municipal councillors get ₹300 as allowance for attending the meetings of corporation and its committees. The current set of councillors have approved the proposal to increase this amount by 83 times to ₹25,000 --with a maximum limit of ₹1,00,000 per month. The previous cap was ₹3,000 a month.

Mayor Shelly Oberoi, who presided over the meeting that took the decision, said that the decision was taken with the interests of the councillors in mind. "Councillors have several office expenses which they have to pay from their own pocket," she added.

To be sure, the proposal will be sent to the urban development department and lieutenant governor VK Saxena will have to sign off on it.

HT reached out to the LG's office, but officials said that they will comment only after the proposal reaches the lieutenant governor's secretariat.
