Overview

  • The proposal would deduct 10–15% of a government employee’s salary and transfer it directly to neglected parents’ bank accounts.
  • A Revanth Reddy announced the plan while distributing appointment letters to 783 newly selected Group-II officers in Hyderabad.
  • He framed the move as ensuring parents receive a monthly income from their children's government pay.
  • He linked the message to the 'Telangana Rising 2047' vision and criticized the previous BRS government over recruitment, claiming 60,000 jobs were filled in the Congress government’s first year.
  • No draft bill, enforcement mechanism, or legislative timeline has been released, with coverage based on PTI-syndicated reports.
