Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Wednesday agreed for performance related pay (PRP) for the year 2018-19 to officials of the State-owned Singareni Collieries Company limited.
This approval will entail a payment of ₹111 crore as PRP for the year to 2,500 officials. Each Singareni official is likely to receive ₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh, according to a statement.
N Sridhar, Chairman and Managing Director of SCCL, thanked the Chief Minister for clearing the PRP which would be paid to the officials in February.
