The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has no money to pay salaries of it's employees. The staff of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) have received only 50 per cent of their salaries for May, and there is no guarantee they will receive the full salaries for June.
Therefore, the Maharashtra S.T. Workers Congress INTUC has demanded Rs 500 crore crore package from the state government to bail out the corporation.
Jaiprakash Chhajed Maharashtra President for INTUC has demanded immediate help of Rs 500 crore from the state government to pay the salaries to it's employees.
The MSRTC is losing out Rs 22 crore per day due to non-running of its buses. This is a massive loss. Since this revenue is not coming, the disbursal of salaries has become an issue. Due to support of the government, 75 pc salary for the month of March was disbursed in April, 100 pc salary for the month of April was disbursed in May and 50 pc salary for the month of May was disbursed in June across the state except for Mumbai and MMR region.
