Explanation

When the Vice President acts as President, he gets the emoluments of the President.

According to Article 65 of the Indian Constitution, when the Vice President discharges the functions of the President during a vacancy in the office of the President, or during the President's absence or inability to discharge his functions, he shall be entitled to the emoluments, allowances, and privileges of the President.

Therefore, when the Vice President acts as President, he gets the same emoluments as the President of India.
