Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin directed the municipal administration department to provide a monthly honorarium to mayors, deputy mayors and councillors of corporations recognising their services to the public. The honorarium would be with effect from July 2023. As per the government’s official statement on Friday, the announcement marks a significant turning point in the government’s attempts to improve the administrative capacity of metropolitan civic authorities.
Stalin ordered the disbursement of the honorarium as a reward of their services following a representation from the corporation mayors, deputy mayors, municipal and town panchayat chairpersons, vice chairpersons and councillors in April, 2022. The order came after Stalin examined their demands.
As per the announcement, the honoraria for the corporation mayor will be Rs 30,000, the deputy mayor Rs 15,000, and the council members Rs 10,000 each. The municipal chairpersons would receive Rs 15,000 per month in a similar fashion, while vice chairpersons and council members would receive Rs 10,000 and Rs 5,000, respectively.
