NEW DELHI: The Telangana Legislative Assembly on March 29 unanimously passed a Bill to deduct 15 per cent of salary from employees neglecting their parents.
The Telangana Employees Accountability and Monitoring of Parental Support Bill, 2026, was passed after members cutting across party lines welcomed it. The Bill provides for deduction of up to 15 per cent or Rs 10,000 — whichever is lower — from the gross salary of employees found to be neglecting their parents. The deducted amount will be paid directly to the parents.
Its scope extends beyond government staff to include private sector employees and public representatives such as MLAs, MLCs and corporators. The motion for passing the Bill was adopted with a voice vote.
