ONGC staffers to get Khadi bonus

NEW DELHI. Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd.(ONGC) employees will now get their annual cash bonuses in the form of Khadi vouchers for buying Khadi garments, a top official said here on Saturday. 
 
Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena said that the Khadi vouchers would be of 35 per cent higher value compared to the cash bonuses, thus giving the 35,299 ONGC employees additional benefits. 
 
Explaining the scheme in the agreement, he said ONGC will provide its employees with Khadi vouchers with an extra 35 per cent incentive, enhancing the value of bonus to 135 per cent of the cash value. 
 
"While 34,236 regular staffers will get Khadi vouchers of Rs 10,000, the other 1,063 non- regular employees will get Khadi vouchers of Rs 5,000 each, valid for a period of two months. KVIC will earn Rs 35 crore from ONGC by this initiative," Saxena said.
