Somnath Chatterjee was known for his fiscal integrity.  When in 2004, as speaker, he moved into the official residence at 20 Akbar Road, he discontinued the practice of paying for toiletries and tea from the national exchequer.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/storypage.php?autono=328584|title=Somnath Chatterjee: House arrest|first=Saubhadra|last=Chatterji|newspaper=Business Standard India|date=14 July 2008|via=Business Standard}}</ref>  On trips abroad, he bore the expenses of any accompanying family members.

===Death===
Chatterjee died at a private hospital in [[Kolkata]] on 13 August 2018 morning. An asthmatic and a diabetic, he was keeping indifferent health since the past three years. He was hospitalised on a few occasions hence. The expulsion from CPI (M) in 2008 and his daughter Anuradha's death in late 2017 nearly shattered the once asserting Speaker, Lok Sabha.  He had suffered a stroke in June, and his condition had deteriorated in the following weeks.<ref name=IE2018/> His family asked the Communist party leaders to leave his funeral and refused to allow his body to be draped by the party flag.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/we-dont-want-cpim-to-put-their-flags-on-fathers-body-says-somnaths-daughter/article24678829.ece | title=Somnath Chatterjee's family rebuffs CPI(M) request | publisher=The Hindu | work=Soumya Das | date=13 August 2018 | access-date=14 August 2018| last1=Singh | first1=Shiv Sahay | last2=Das | first2=Soumya }}</ref><ref name=AA2018/><ref>Verma, Rupal.
