AI to pay allowances to employees before Diwali

Air India today withdrew its move to defer by a fortnight payment of incentives and allowances to over 29,000 employees, saying these would now be paid a day before Diwali.

"Air India will be paying its employees the salaries for the month of October on November one and flying-related allowances, including Productivity-linked Incentives (PLI), on November four," an airline spokesperson said tonight.

The decision to withdraw the deferment came after strong protests from various unions, including those of the pilots.

Earlier, the national carrier had issued a staff notice saying that while the October salary will be disbursed on November one, PLI and flying allowances would be paid on November 15.
