AI again defers disbursement of January salary

Mumbai, Feb 7 (PTI) Citing cash crunch, Air India today delayed for the second time payment of salary to its 30,000 employees for the month of January.

The national carrier, which had earlier said that the salaries would be disbursed on February 10, now says that they will be paid on February 14.

"In supercession of earlier notification on the subject (salary for January 2011) will be disbursed on February 14 and not on February 10, as advised earlier," the airline said today.

Airline officials said that the delay was due to the critical financial position.

A January 31 notification had said that due to "critical financial position" it has been decided to delay the salary disbursement for the month of January 2011 to February 10.

The ailing national carrier, however, posted Rs 49.48 crore worth of operating surplus in December and Rs 21.66 crore in November.
