The then Chandrababu government did not pay salaries and retirement benefits to RTC employees who retired between 2017–19. The RTC officials earlier paid the amount in two instalments in February this year, and have also decided to pay the next two installments by the end of this month. RTC MD RP Thakur, on Friday, issued orders to clear all the payments. This decision would benefit 5,027 retired RTC employees who have been waiting for arrears for four years.  

The TDP government did not pay salaries, arrears, earned leaves, and gratuity to 5,027 RTC employees who had retired in between 2017-19. Under the directions of AP Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the process of payment of arrears will be undertaken on the basis of seniority.
