G GOWTHAM
A retiring supreme court justice will have access to a housekeeper and a chauffeur starting on the day of retirement. The ceremonial lounges that are available at airports for retiring supreme court and CJI judges were also announced earlier this month. By revising the high court Judges Rules, the VIP lounge facility was also given to retired chief justices of the high courts.

A retired supreme court justice or Chief Justice of india will be eligible for a residential phone "free of cost" as well as compensation for any telephone calls made from a residential phone, a mobile phone, a broadband connection, or a data card up to Rs 4,200 per month, including taxes. The notification stated, "If no such facilities are availed from any high court or from any other government body where the retired Chief Justice or a retired Judge has taken up any assignment after retirement, then the post-retirement benefits under this rule shall be admissible to the retired Chief Justice (of India) or the retired Judge (of SC)."

The supreme court or a high court institution will be responsible for paying a major portion of the costs for domestic help, a chauffeur, a secretarial assistant, and phone reimbursement. Former Chief Justice of india and senior court justices used to receive monthly financial bonuses to pay for security, domestic helpers, and chauffeurs. An official stated that the donation amount would end. For this reason, retired supreme court justices received Rs 39,000 per month, while a retired CJI was entitled to Rs 70,000.
