Subhiksha has not paid salaries, government told

The government Monday said it has received a complaint that retail chain Subhiksha had not paid salaries to its employees for the past three months and that outlets were closed without them being informed.

"Anil Kumar, an ex-employee of the company, has made a complaint alleging non-payment of salary for three months and closure of all units without any communication from the management," said Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid in the Rajya Sabha in a written reply.

Subhiksha employees have for a few months been protesting about the non-payment of salaries.

The fund-parched company has also accepted that salary cheques of some of its employees had not been honoured.
