Minister Ponnam Prabhakar said that the DA hike for TGSRTC staff will create an additional financial burden of nearly 2.822 crore per month of the Telangana SRTC. Earlier, in July 2025, the state govt raised DA by 2.1%, moving it from 48.6% to 50.7%.
There are no pending DA dues for TGSRTC employees following the implementation of the RPS-2017 pay revision in May 2024.
