Sir,
Kindly refer to the above mentioned subject. This issue is
regarding payment of profit sharing to the officers who have
been deputed to other organizations like OISD, DGH and MRPL
etc.
Time and again this issue has been discussed with you and
Director (HR). I shall at this stage like to appraise you
of the facts and attach few documents that shall establish
the fact that denial of profit sharing payment to our officers
who have been deputed in the interest of our organization
is not justified.
Sir, till the year 2002-03 all the officers were receiving
the payment of profit sharing. Despite this payment, when
the payment of 1998-99 and 1999-2000 was made in the year
2006, these officers were denied the payment.
Further, payments were also stopped till date. Enclosed are
the documents that we have gathered from ONGC service rules,
terms and conditions of other Oil Sector PSUs on this aspect.
Placed at Annexure I is the relevant Clause No. 21 of ONGC
Service Rules 1995. The service conditions entitles all the
employees who are deputed to other organizations equal treatment
related to payment of all the benefits as would have accrued
to him, had he been present in the company.
Placed at Annexure II is the letter of Ministry of Petroleum
and Natural Gas where they have brought out that all the officers
deputed to DGH shall continue to be part of parent organization
and would continue to be eligible for all the benefits.
Placed at Annexure III is the letter of DG - DGH where he
has specifically brought out that all the officers of ONGC
posted at DGH needs to be covered for payment of profit sharing
as all the payments are reimbursed to ONGC and further they
all have been posted there in the interest of ONGC.
Placed at Annexure IV are the excerpts of the minutes of meeting
that was held between DG – DGH and C&MD, ONGC while
discussing the issue of additional development of South Heera
field. This project was also studied by our officers deputed
to DGH and had contributed for the final clearance of the
same. The project is being implemented now.
Placed at Annexure V are the practice and payments to officers
of other Oil PSUs who have been deputed to OISD, DGH, MRPL
etc. All these companies like GAIL, IOC, OIL, BPCL etc. have
been making payment related to profit sharing etc. to all
the officers who have deputed to other organizations.
Sir, The deputation/ secondment that happen to the organization
have been always in the interest of ONGC and allow the officers
to work in different work culture and environment which in
fact is an intangible benefit to ONGC. The tangible benefit
from the deputation/secondment has also been in earning revenues
in the form of reimbursement of the expenditure that ONGC
makes on the employees who are on deputation/secondment. Approximate
earnings from such postings have been to the tune of more
than Rs. 1.5 crores per annum. This is actually a fabulous
return on investment as our officers are literally getting
on the job training, experience and knowledge enhancement
without ONGC spending anything on them.
Sir, already we have suggested this change in the incentive
committee recommendations from ASTO’s side. Changes
to the scheme for certain areas like WSS etc. have already
taken place. We again emphasize that the due payment of profit
sharing be made to the officers who are on deputation to other
organization like DGH, OISD, MRPL etc.
With warm Regards,
(Amit Kumar)
President, ASTO, Delhi
