Ex-VP Jagdeep Dhankhar Applies for MLA Pension: Which Party Did He Represent? How Much Will He Get?
Jagdeep Dhankhar, 74, applied to resume his Rajasthan MLA pension of Rs 42,000 monthly after resigning as Vice-President, with formal approval processes underway.
- Former Vice‑President Jagdeep Dhankhar has re‑applied to the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Secretariat for pension as a former MLA, and officials said the Secretariat has begun processing his application.
- After stepping down earlier this month, Dhankhar reapplied for his former-MLA pension, which stopped after his 2019 West Bengal Governor appointment; he served Kishangarh Assembly constituency, Ajmer district from 1993 to 1998, officials said.
- Under Rajasthan rules, a former MLA gets Rs 35,000 per month as base pension, and because Dhankhar is 74, he qualifies for a 20% age-related hike raising his entitlement to Rs 42,000 per month.
- Officials say the pension will apply from the date his resignation as Vice‑President was accepted, and that MLA pension is in addition to any pensions from the former Vice‑President and as ex‑Member of Parliament.
- Since his resignation, Dhankhar has kept away from the public eye with family citing health reasons, and the application underscores Dhankhar's long career as he joins the Rajasthan Assembly pension list, which provides a 30 hike after age 80.
