Telangana government runs Hospitalisation Relief Scheme for registered construction workers who face temporary disability after an accident or illness that keeps them in hospital for at least five days. The scheme comes under the Telangana Building & Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, which operates under the Labour, Employment, Training and Factories Department. Workers get daily cash support during their hospital stay so they do not have to worry about lost wages while recovering.
Under this scheme, eligible workers receive ₹300 per day for the hospitalization period, with a monthly cap of ₹4,500. The relief can continue for up to three months if the worker suffers from a severe or terminal condition that needs extended treatment. This support has been in place since 01.05.2017 and remains active for 2026.
Hospitalisation Relief Scheme – Introduction
Hospitalisation Relief Scheme helps construction workers in Telangana who are registered with the Building & Other Construction Workers Welfare Board. When a worker meets with an accident or falls ill and needs to stay in hospital for five days or more, this scheme steps in with daily cash relief. The money goes straight to the worker’s bank account through direct benefit transfer, so there is no middleman involved.
If a worker named Rajesh, for example, gets badly hurt at a construction site and stays in hospital for two weeks, he can claim ₹300 for each day of his stay. The monthly ceiling of ₹4,500 means he would get the full amount for those 15 days. In cases where the illness is serious and long-term, like a terminal disease, the board may extend the support for up to three months.
