State Announces Bonus and Pay Scale Hike – A Double Treat for Dussehra
The Telangana government has delivered a 'double gift' to the employees of Singareni Collieries for the occasion of Dussehra. The financial benefits will take effect from September 25, 2026, and will be reflected in the October salary. Here is what the Deputy Chief Minister had to say.
On the special occasion of Dussehra, the Telangana government has provided a major gift to the officers and employees of Singareni Collieries. State Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka announced that the pay scales for approximately 1,800 executive officers—ranging from grades E-1 to E-7—have been revised to match those of 'Coal India'.
These enhanced financial benefits will be effective from September 25 of this year and will be included in the salary for the month of October. Prior to this, the government had also announced a substantial bonus of ₹596 crore for approximately 39,000 permanent employees, as well as a festive support payment of ₹5,500 for contract workers.
