The Telangana Employees Accountability and Monitoring of Parental Support Act, 2026

General202629 sections6 chapters

This Act mandates that employees in Telangana, whether in government or private sectors, provide financial support to their dependent parents who cannot maintain themselves. It empowers dependent parents to apply for a portion of their child's salary, capped at 15 percent or 10,000 rupees, whichever is lower. The law establishes a Designated Authority in each district to adjudicate these claims within 60 days. If dissatisfied, parents can appeal to the Senior Citizens Commission. This legislation ensures that elderly parents have access to essential needs like food and medical care, holding employees accountable for their familial responsibilities through a formal legal mechanism.
