NEW DELHI: The Centre today notified a nearly 200 per cent hike in the salary of Supreme Court and High Court judges. The new salary of the Chief Justice of India will now be Rs 2.8 lakh per month, up from the present Rs one lakh.

Similarly, judges of the Supreme Court and chief justices of high courts will draw a monthly salary of Rs 2.50 lakh, up from the current Rs 90,000, according to the Act notified by the law ministry.
