The Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed the Telangana Housing Board to clear its Government Provident Fund dues within an eight‑week period.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court, in a recent ruling, has ordered the Telangana Housing Board (THB) to settle its Government Provident Fund (GPF) arrears within eight weeks.
The court cited the board’s failure to meet statutory payment deadlines, which has led to a significant backlog of dues owed to employees and pensioners. The order mandates immediate payment of the outstanding amount and requires the board to submit a detailed payment plan to the court.
If the board fails to comply, the court warned that it could face further legal penalties, including potential suspension of its operations. The decision is expected to prompt a swift resolution of the arrears and restore confidence among the board’s stakeholders.
The Telangana Housing Board has yet to respond publicly to the ruling, but it is anticipated that the board will engage with the court to outline its repayment strategy within the stipulated timeframe.
