Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has announced this. Mann said that instructions have been issued to the officials to take appropriate action in this regard. Mann said that many MLAs lost after being MLA four times. Someone’s pension is four lakhs,
someone is five and a half lakhs, but now only one pension will be available.
Mann said that many MLAs have also been MPs and are taking both pensions. Now the pension and family allowances of the former MLAs will be deducted, which will be used in the schemes of public welfare. The Chief Minister said that unemployment is a big issue. Young people are sitting at home with degrees.

Recently, on getting information about the decision of the Mann government, former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had written to the speaker about not taking the pension. Badal has been an MLA 11 times and Chief Minister five times.
Lal Singh, Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, Sarwan Singh Phillaur get 3 lakh 25 thousand pensions every month in the state.
