Which Article of the Indian Constitution mentions about the salaries and allowances of members of the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council of a state?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Article 195.
Article 195 of the Indian Constitution specifies the provisions regarding the salaries and allowances of members of the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council of a state. It states that these salaries and allowances are determined by the state legislature through laws, subject to the Constitution. Until such laws are made, members are entitled to receive the allowances specified in the Second Schedule. This ensures that the financial entitlements of state legislators are defined either by existing laws or as per constitutional provisions to maintain transparency and accountability.
