West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's declared income has increased by nearly 50% over the last five years, according to her election affidavit. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief declared an annual income of ₹23,21,570 for 2024-25, up from ₹15,47,845 in 2020-21.
Her income, she has consistently maintained, comes from bank interest and royalties from her books. Banerjee, known for her literary pursuits, has authored 153 books across Bengali, English, Hindi and Urdu.
Her movable assets, including jewellery, have seen a marginal rise from ₹15,37,509 five years ago to ₹16,72,352 now. She has declared no immovable assets.
Banerjee recently became the first sitting chief minister to argue her own petition before the Supreme Court, challenging voter list deletions after special intensive revision (SIR) in the state.
