President gives assent to Judges Salary hike

Supreme Court Judges and High Court Chief Justices to get Rs. 90,000/- per month- Other High Court Judges - Rs. 80,000/- per month

Judges of Supreme Court and High Court can now take a sigh of relief as the President gave her assent to the ordinance late last week. The proposed hike in salaries also means a substantial increase in pension for judges. Judges are entitled to 50 per cent of their last drawn salary as monthly pension.

The President's New Year gift for the judiciary means a revised salary Rs 1 lakh for the Chief Justice of India, Rs 90,000 for Supreme Court judges and High Court chief justices and Rs 80,000 for HC judges.
