A Member is required to sign the Attendance Register on each day of his attendance in the presence of an official of the Vidhan Sabha Secretariat, deputed by the Principal Secretary for the purpose. The Register is kept just outside the Vidhan Sabha Chamber. This serves as the record of the attendances of the Members and is consulted when their compensatory allowance is worked out. It may be mentioned that absence from the meetings of the Vidhan Sabha apart from affecting the compensatory allowance admissible to a Member may have repercussions on his Membership if this is prolonged for a period of sixty days computed in the manner provided in Article 190 (4) of the Constitution without the permission of the House.
