Caring for Parents: Moral Duty or Legal Obligation? Telangana Proposes Salary Cuts for Neglect

Telangana is considering a bold proposal to penalize government employees who neglect their elderly parents, with 10–15% of salaries potentially deducted and transferred directly to parents’ accounts. Building on the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, the move raises questions about family responsibility, state intervention, and constitutional limits. While supporters argue it protects senior citizens amid rising emotional and financial neglect, critics warn of moral policing, subjectivity in defining “neglect,” and potential misuse. Legal experts debate whether linking personal family conduct to service rules strikes a balance between enforcement and intrusion into private life.
