Coal India hikes wage rate by 7%

20 Jun 2012 Evaluate

Following the signing of National Coal Wage Agreement, the Maharatna public sector coal mining giant, Coal India would see a 7% hike in its wage cost from this financial year (FY), which will swell its salary expenses by Rs 1,750 crore, as mentioned in some media reports. The hike in Dearness allowance (DA), which has been estimated at 10% during this year, after offsetting a 3% reduction in DA cost on account of a drop in employee number due to normal retirements, is solely the reason behind the 7% wage hike.

Coal India, as on January 31, 2012, finalized the wage agreement for its 3.63 lakh strong non-executive work force by giving a 25% increase on Gross wages as of 30 June 2011. The National Coal Wage Agreement (NCWA) was inked in New Delhi between the Central trade unions representing the coal workers and the Management of the coal sector behemoth, CIL, in the Joint Bi-partite Committee for Coal Industry (JBCCI) set up for the purpose.
