When the Vice-President officiates as President, he draws the salary and allowances of the President , not of the Vice-President or Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.

Mini explanation

  • Under the Indian Constitution, when the Vice-President acts as or discharges the functions of the President, he is entitled to receive the President’s salary and privileges for that period.
  • This is why exam-style questions on this topic give the option “President” (or “salary of the President”) as the correct answer.

Answer (MCQ style): President ✅
