The Kerala Chief Minister receives a monthly salary of approximately ₹1,25,000, including basic pay and allowances, which is surprisingly modest compared to many other Indian states. Despite managing a multi-crore budget and state administration, the CM’s salary ranks 19th among Indian states.

In addition to salary, the Chief Minister enjoys extensive perks: an official residence (Cliff House) with full maintenance, 24/7 security, official vehicles with fuel, travel allowances for train and air journeys, free medical treatment for self and family, and a lifelong pension after completing the term. A large personal staff, including private secretaries, is also provided.
