Salary of the Speaker

Since, a Speaker is also a member of the Parliament, he or she comes under the Salary, Allowances and Pension of Parliament Act of 1954, which was amended in December 2010. According to this particular Act, the salary of the Speaker is Rs 50,000 per month, along with a Constituency allowance of Rs 40,000 per month. The Speaker is also entitled to a Daily Allowance of Rs 2,000 while he/she attends a parliamentary session or other committee meetings, for the whole of the term.

Powers and functions of the Speaker

The Speaker of the Lok Sabha conducts the business in house; and decides whether a bill is a money bill or not. They maintain discipline and decorum in the house and can punish a member for their unruly behavior by suspending them. They also permit the moving of various kinds of motions and resolutions such as a motion of no confidence, motion of adjournment, motion of censure and calling attention notice as per the rules. The Speaker decides on the agenda to be taken up for discussion during the meeting. The date of election of the speaker is fixed by the President. Further, all comments and speeches made by members of the House are addressed to the speaker. The speaker also presides over the joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament. The counterpart of the Speaker in the Rajya Sabha is the Chairman, who is the Vice President of India. In the warrant of precedence, the speaker of Lok Sabha comes next only to The Deputy Prime Minister of India. Speaker has the sixth rank in the political executive of India.

Removal of the Speaker

Speaker can be removed by the Lok Sabha by a resolution passed by an effective majority of the House as per Articles 94 and 96.

Speaker is also removed on getting disqualified for being Lok Sabha member under sections 7 & 8 of Representation of the People Act, 1951. This would arise out of speaker's wrong certification of a bill as money bill inconsistent with the definition given in Articles 110 of the constitution. When courts uphold the unconstitutional act of the speaker for wrong certification of a bill as money bill, it amounts to disrespecting the constitution deserving conviction under Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 which is applicable for disqualification of speaker's Lok Sabha membership under section 8k of Representation of the People Act, 1951. However the omissions in the procedure committed by the speaker in the Lok Sabha can not be challenged in court of law per Article 122

The Presidents of India : Achievements and Important Facts.

The President of India is the head of state of India and the Commander-in-chief of the Indian Armed Forces. The Indian President is referred to as the first citizen of India.

There have been 14 Presidents of India since the post was established when India was declared as a republic with the adoption of the Indian constitution in 1950. Apart from these fourteen, three Acting Presidents have also been in office for short periods of time. Shri Varahagiri Venkata Giri became the Acting President in 1969 after Dr. Zakir Husain, died in office. He was elected President a few months later. Shri Varahagiri Venkata Giri remains the only person to have held office both as a President and Acting President. Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India, is the only person to have held office for two terms.

Two Presidents, Dr. Zakir Husain and Dr. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, have died in office.

This list is numbered based on Presidents elected after winning an Indian Presidential election. The terms of Varahagiri Venkata Giri (1969), Mohammad Hidayatullah,  and Basappa Danappa Jatti  who served as Acting President, are therefore not numbered or counted as actual terms in office. The President of India does not represent any political party.
