The Telangana Lokayukta operates under the Andhra Pradesh Lokayukta and Upa-Lokayuktas Act, 1983, as adapted by Telangana after it became a separate state in June 2014 under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014. Telangana has not enacted a standalone Lokayukta act; a 2019 ordinance expanded eligibility criteria but did not replace the adapted AP statute.
