The new Bihar telephone allowance for MLAs and MLCs has brought major changes to how lawmakers manage their phone expenses. Under the revised rules, every MLA and MLC will now receive ₹8,300 per month for telephone use. This update means the Bihar telephone allowance for MLAs and MLCs will fully cover their mobile and landline expenses without extra payment.
Earlier, members had to submit vouchers for reimbursement. This process caused delays and extra paperwork. The new system removes that burden. Lawmakers can now use any number of phones or mobile connections, as long as the total cost stays within the monthly limit.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary presented the amendment in the Bihar Legislature. The change comes under the Bihar Legislature (Salary, Allowance and Pension of Members) Amendment Rules 2025. The goal is to make the allowance system simpler and more transparent.
This monthly amount will directly support communication needs. It also gives members flexibility to manage their phones without administrative hurdles. The government believes this reform will improve the efficiency of legislative work.
