India's Vice President: Office Without Salary, But Perks

The Vice President of India doesn't get paid a direct salary for being the Vice President.

Instead, they're paid as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, a part of Parliament.

The Vice President gets lots of benefits like a house, medical care, and travel.

When they become President for a short time, they do get the President's salary.

Recent elections for this position were necessary because the former Vice President, Jagdeep Dhankhar, resigned.

When he was a legislator before becoming VP, he received a pension, which he can now receive again.

Also, the ex-VP gets a pension after retirement.
