Coming: pay panel for MPs so they dont decide on their hike

After the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations for Central employees, the Government is set to put in place a commission to determine salaries, allowances and perks of Members of Parliament. The Cabinet is expected to clear a proposal to this effect at its meeting scheduled for tomorrow. Since the new arrangement will require an amendment in the existing law, The Salary, Allowances and Pension Act of Members of Parliament, 1954, the Government will move a bill after the Parliament resumes the budget session April 15.
