प्रिवी पर्स वह धनराशि थी जो स्वतंत्रता के बाद रियासतों के शासकों को भारत संघ में विलय के बदले सरकार द्वारा दी जाती थी।
सन् 1971 में संसद द्वारा संवैधानिक संशोधन के माध्यम से इसे आधिकारिक रूप से समाप्त कर दिया गया। यह निर्णय इंदिरा गांधी की सरकार के समय लिया गया, जिसके बाद पूर्व रियासतों के शासकों की विशेष सुविधाएँ और आर्थिक भत्ते समाप्त हो गए।
