Ex-Vice President and former Rajasthan MLA, Jagdeep Dhankhar, submits pension application following his resignation; curious to learn the monthly pension amount he is entitled to receive.

Jagdeep Dhankhar, the former Vice President of India, announced his resignation on July 21 due to health reasons. With his resignation accepted, the process of ensuring his pension has been initiated by the secretariat.

As a former Vice President, Dhankhar is entitled to a pension of nearly ₹2 lakh per month. This brings his monthly income to roughly ₹3 lakh per month, as he is also eligible for pensions as a former Member of Parliament (MP) and former Member of the Rajasthan Assembly.

Dhankhar represented the Kishangarh Assembly constituency as a Congress MLA from 1993 to 1998. As a one-term MP, he is entitled to ₹45,000 per month as pension, besides other benefits. However, there are no pension benefits for Dhankhar as the ex-governor of West Bengal. His pension as a former Governor of West Bengal, which was approximately ₹2.5 lakh per month, was stopped during his tenure.

Upon resuming his pension as a former MLA, Dhankhar will receive a pension of ₹42,000 per month. In addition to his pensions, Dhankhar is entitled to a Type-8 bungalow, one personal secretary, one additional personal secretary, one personal assistant, one physician, one nursing officer, and four personal attendants.

It's worth noting that in the case of a former vice-president's death, their spouse is entitled to a smaller Type-7 house. This information, along with speculation about who will be the next Vice President of India, are subjects for further reading and discussion.

Dhankhar's pension will be applicable from the date his resignation as the Vice President was accepted. This marks a new phase in the life of the former Vice President, who will continue to receive his entitlements as a retired politician.
