The Telangana Parliamentary Secretaries (Appointment, Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2015
The Telangana Parliamentary Secretaries (Appointment, Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2015 empowers the Chief Minister of Telangana to appoint state legislators as Parliamentary Secretaries. Holding the rank and status of a Minister of State, these appointees perform executive duties assigned directly by the Chief Minister. The law applies to appointed legislative members, granting them salaries and allowances equal to Ministers of State while barring them from drawing member salaries or practicing other professions and trades. It matters because it allows the state leadership to create official administrative support roles, streamlining government operations while enforcing strict guidelines against dual compensation and outside employment.
