The state has passed a law that allows both public and private companies to cut an employee’s salary if they fail to provide for their parents
India already has a law that allows parents, who are senior citizens, to seek financial support from their children. However, many say its implementation is slow, even when the children hold jobs with adequate income.
A Telangana law now aims to penalise men and women who fail to provide for their parents. It allows both public and private companies to cut their employees’ salaries if they do not take care of their parents.
