It is a common perception, a parliamentarian enjoys the ruling power, luxurious life, and allowances until who is serving the country, when once he/she is ousted or removed from his/her designation that will be deprived of the benefits.
While, the story goes on the contrast; means, off course they are not given as many allowances as they enjoy when they are severing but they will be given enough allowances. Every former government office holder will be given a plenty amount after the retirement.
Remember, it does not concern that ex-prime holds the office either for a single or for a whole term-five years. But, he or she will enjoy privileges equally.
‘The Prime Minister’s Salary, Allowances and Privileges Act, 1975’ which is further amended in 2012 concerns all about the benefits and allowances of a former Prime Minister.
