Telangana govt urged to clear KU retired teachers’ pension dues

The Kakatiya University Retired Teachers Association urged Telangana government to release pending pension payments for July–October 2025. The association also requested restoring consolidated salary and pension billing to prevent delays and financial hardship for retired teaching staff

Hyderabad: Kakatiya University Retired Teachers Association (KURTA), Warangal, on Tuesday urged the State government to release pending pension bills of KU retired teaching staff.

According to the association, until recently, the KU used to submit a consolidated bill covering both salaries and pensions under a single head, which used to be cleared without delay by the Finance Department.

However, as per the recent instructions of the Principal Secretary, Finance, the University was now asked to submit separate claims for salaries and pensions, it said.

“While the salary bills are being cleared, the pension bills for the months of July, August, September and October 2025 remain pending without release of funds from the Finance department,” it said.

The KURTA representatives who met Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu urged him to instruct the Finance Department to immediately release the pending pension dues for the months of July, August, September and October 2025 to the University.

They also urged the Minister to restore the earlier practice of clearing consolidated salary and pension bills together under a single head, so that delays and financial hardship to University and pensioners are avoided.
