India’s Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from his post late on Monday (21 July). He explained the reason behind this decision. Now the question arises that after resigning from the post of Vice President, how much pension Jagdeep Dhankhar will get? Apart from this, which convenience will they get the benefit? Let’s know in detail.
How much is the pension of the Vice President?
The post of Vice President in India is the second largest constitutional post in the country. Those living in this post get some special facilities including pension after resignation or completion of tenure. At present, after the resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar, no official statement has been revealed about the exact amount of his pension, but understand its details based on the current rules.
Pension can be found so much
After the budget of 2018, the monthly salary of the Vice President of India was Rs 4 lakh per month. At the same time, the pension of the Vice President is usually decided on the basis of their tenure and salary. In India, former Vice -Presidents get a part of their salary as pension, which can normally be from 50 to 60 %. According to this, Jagdeep Dhankar can get a monthly pension of about 2 to 2.5 lakh rupees. However, this amount will be decided according to the period of his tenure (from 2022 to 2025, ie 3 years) and the government’s decision.
What can be the effect due to reduced tenure?
It is worth noting that the term of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was 5 years old, which was about to end in August 2027, but he resigned in 3 years. In such a situation, the period of tenure can be taken into consideration while calculating pension. However, in some cases complete pension is also given for a partial tenure. At present, no official information has been revealed about this.
These facilities will continue to benefit
The former Vice President in India gets free medical facilities, including treatment in government hospitals for him and his family. Dhankhar has resigned due to health reasons. In such a situation, this convenience will be especially important for them. Apart from this, they will be given the convenience of free journey in train and airplane. The former Vice President can get government accommodation or housing allowance, but it is decided according to the condition of their individual housing. If the former Vice President needs security, then he is also given security.
