Telangana Govt. Releases Rs.745 Cr to Clear Employees Pending Bills
The Finance department officials have also released Rs. 389 crore to gram panchayats
Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Friday announced the release of ₹745 crore to clear bills of government employees and ₹389 crore for gram panchayats. He stated that funds are being released by the Congress government through a green channel mechanism to ensure speedy clearance.
As part of this initiative, the finance department has released funds covering bills up to February 2026 following the Deputy CM’s directions.
The government recently provided relief to employees by sanctioning ₹745 crore towards long-pending payments and assured employee unions that dues amounting to not less than ₹700 crore would be cleared every month. Officials said the government has been adhering to this commitment, releasing ₹183 crore at the end of June last year and maintaining monthly releases of at least ₹700 crore since August.
The latest release includes payments towards gratuity, General Provident Fund (GPF), surrendered leave encashment and various employee advances. The government said the move would ease financial stress among employees while ensuring smoother functioning of local bodies across the state.
