 In most states, pension entitlements provide 100 per cent pay for the incumbent governors’ buildings, generous medical allowances for them and their family members as well as annual holiday provisions.

These pension provisions are also expected to last for life. 

In addition to the above, provision for staff, security and vehicle pension allowances which are renewable every three or four years.
