It is the first of its kind bill introduced by any Indian state and aims to ensure that the government employees do not neglect their elderly parents or loved ones in times of need. There will be a 10% deduction of an employee’s pay and transferring it to the account of the relative concerned. Another 5% would be deductible if the employee has a differently-abled sibling.
