Telangana employees’ joint action committee announces agitation from September 1 for PRC, DA, OPS
The JAC demanded that the State government immediately scrap the Contributory Pension Scheme and restore the Old Pension Scheme for employees.
The Telangana Employees’ Joint Action Committee (JAC) announced plans for a series of protests in September to push for the implementation of delayed Pay Revision Commission (PRC) and Dearness Allowance (DA) payouts, as well as the abandonment of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) in favor of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). This announcement came from a meeting of constituent employee associations held on August 29, 2026, where JAC leaders V. Lachchi Reddy and Vodnala Rajasekhar outlined the group’s future strategy.
In response to these demands, the JAC designated September 1 as a day of protest statewide, urging employees to don black badges and stage demonstrations in front of government buildings in the afternoon. Additionally, the JAC has set September 6 for a “Chalo Hyderabad – Employees’ Sankalpa Sabha” at Hyderabad’s Exhibition Grounds, which will focus on securing the overdue PRC and DA benefits for government workers.
