The salary of MPs in Pakistan is going to increase more than double.
Islamabad: Even though the people in Pakistan are dying of hunger, the MPs do not see any special difference. The MPs of the country passed a bill on Tuesday, which will increase their salary more than doubled. Let us know that inflation has been at its peak for the last several months in Pakistan and it is difficult for the general public to get 2 times. In such a situation, it is believed that after the passage of the bill to increase the salary by Pakistani MPs, the general public can see resentment.
How much will the salary of MPs increase?
According to reports, after the bill is passed, now the salary of MPs will now increase in Pakistani currency by more than Rs 2,18,000 to Rs 5,19,000. This amount in Indian currency is about 1.62 lakh rupees. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz i.e. PML-N MP Romina Khurshid Alam introduced the Member of Parliament Pay and Allowance (Amendment) Bill 2025 in the National Assembly, which passed it by majority. This will increase the salary of MPs by 138 percent. Earlier, the Finance Committee of the National Assembly approved the bill in a meeting chaired by Chairman Ayaz Sadiq on 26 January.
No MP objected
It is worth noting that when the country is going through a serious economic phase, neither the opposition MPs related to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf nor any MP of the ruling party objected to increasing their salary. How difficult it has been for the general public in Pakistan for the last few months can be gauged from the fact that there were reports of losing their lives for flour from many areas. At the same time, the increased electricity bills have also broken the back of the Pakistani people. In such a situation, the MPs can create resentment in the Pakistani people, which is facing their salary comfortably.
