As per the directions of Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, the Telangana government has released ₹2,000 crore in pending dues as the first phase.
The Telangana government has once again demonstrated its commitment to the welfare of government employees. It has not just limited its promises to words but has acted upon them. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka had earlier assured employee JAC leaders that ₹6,000 crore worth of long-pending dues would be cleared within 100 days.
Fulfilling this promise, the Finance Department, under the instructions of Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka, issued orders today (Friday) releasing ₹2,000 crore in the first phase, as confirmed by Finance Department Principal Secretary Sandeep Kumar Sultania.
With the funds released today, the government has cleared key dues related to retired employees. The General Provident Fund (GPF) dues of retired employees have been fully settled. In addition, all pending commutation dues up to May 2025 have also been completely cleared.
“This was possible due to proper planning and a clear execution strategy. As promised, the government is making rapid efforts to deposit the remaining ₹4,000 crore into employees’ accounts within the stipulated timeline.”
Employee union leaders and retired employees have expressed happiness over the government’s proactive approach and swift decisions, thanking the people’s government for fulfilling its commitments.
