But for more than four years that Chatterjee has been occupying the Speaker's post, he has not only been renewing his party membership but has also been duly paying the levy of 5% of his monthly salary to the party. As per the CPM constitution, party members earning Rs 8,000 or more a month have to pay 5% as levy to the party. Chatterjee's levy was also received in the month of July.
