♦ The Telangana government passed the Telangana Employees Accountability and Monitoring of Parental Support Bill, 2026, in the Legislative Assembly on 29 March 2026. The Bill proposes to bring about salary deductions for private and public sector employees deemed to be neglecting and failing to support their parents. The law will also be applicable to MLAs and MPs, as well as nominated members and elected representatives of local bodies.

♦ The Bill allows salary deductions of up to 15% or Rs.10,000, whichever is lower.

♦ Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said the Bill seeks to go beyond existing central legislation. He noted that the country already has a national law, the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.
