Telangana Plans Bigger Monthly Payout for Employee Arrears as PRC Report Remains Pending

The PRC report remains pending with a March 31 deadline, prompting the state to defer pay decisions until it arrives.

Overview

  • Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the government is releasing ₹700 crore a month to clear pending employee bills and is considering raising this to ₹1,000 crore next year.
  • The Pay Revision Commission led by N. Siva Sankar has its tenure extended to March 31, with implementation decisions to be taken after the report is submitted.
  • The government has revised dearness allowance and pension dearness relief to 33.67% effective July 1, 2023, with arrears being paid in instalments.
