Up till now, the newly-elected MPs used to stay in 5-star hotels, putting a burden on taxpayers money. 

The practice of housing newly-elected MPs in 5-star hotels who do not have official residence was scrapped during a meeting chaired by outgoing Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan and rather would be given accommodation in state guest house, western court or state-run transit hostel.
