Hyderabad | April 29, 2026 | DeccanLive.com
The Telangana government has announced a big relief for retired employees by releasing ₹1000 crore to clear their pending payments. This move is expected to solve long-standing issues related to unpaid General Provident Fund (GPF) dues.
According to an official statement, all pending GPF dues up to October 2025 have now been cleared. The state finance department has issued orders to complete these payments, bringing relief to many retired employees who were waiting for their savings for a long time.
It is important to note that the delay in clearing these dues had recently drawn strong criticism from the Telangana High Court. The court had directed the government to resolve the issue quickly. Following this, the government acted fast and released the required funds.
The government has also taken steps to avoid such delays in the future. It has increased the monthly payment limit by another ₹1000 crore to ensure faster and smoother processing of payments going forward.
Officials said this decision will help in timely settlement of claims and bills of retired employees, reducing their financial stress. Experts believe this move will restore trust among employees and improve the state’s financial management system.
