Telangana CM Revanth Reddy has warned government employees that failing to care for their parents could soon lead to a 15% salary deduction, with funds directly transferred to parents’ bank accounts. A bill to this effect will be introduced in the next Assembly session.

Salary Deduction Warning for Neglecting Parents

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy made a strong statement directed at government employees, emphasizing the moral and social responsibility of caring for parents. He announced that the state government is preparing legislation that would mandate a 15% salary deduction from employees who fail to properly support their parents.

According to the CM, the deducted amount would be directly deposited into the bank accounts of the parents, ensuring their financial security. The proposed bill is expected to be tabled in the upcoming Assembly session.

Address at Officers’ Valedictory Function

The Chief Minister delivered this message while addressing newly appointed officers at a valedictory function. He highlighted that the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) has been revamped and that long-pending Group-1 and Group-2 recruitment processes have now been completed.

He urged the new officers to remember the hardships their parents endured—especially those who worked as daily wage earners or under employment guarantee schemes—to educate their children.

“It is not right to ignore the sacrifices of parents who struggled to ensure their children’s success,” he stated.

Harvard Collaboration & Training at MCRHRD

In another key announcement, Revanth Reddy revealed that he personally visited Harvard University and signed an agreement for collaboration.

Under this initiative:

Representatives from Harvard University are expected to visit Telangana.
High-level training sessions will be conducted at the MCRHRD (Marri Chenna Reddy Human Resource Development Institute).
The training programs are planned within the next six months.

The aim is to enhance governance standards and administrative efficiency among state officials.

Call for Integrity and Public Service

The Chief Minister advised officers to maintain the same honesty and enthusiasm throughout their careers as on their first day in service. He stressed that:

Laws must serve the people, not suppress them.
Public servants must uphold Telangana’s spirit of self-respect.
The people of Telangana may endure hardship but will not tolerate humiliation or dominance.

He referenced historical struggles, including the Sammakka-Saralamma rebellion and student movements at Osmania and Kakatiya Universities, as examples of Telangana’s resistance against injustice.

Final Verdict

Revanth Reddy’s announcement signals a bold and potentially controversial administrative reform. If implemented, the proposed 15% salary deduction law would be one of the strictest measures in India aimed at enforcing parental responsibility among government employees. While supporters may see it as a socially responsible step, the proposal is likely to spark debate on legal and constitutional grounds in the coming weeks.
