Dear Mayur P Kulkarni,
While raising the query, I wish you had mentioned what benefits your company provides to the employees and of those which ones you wish to withdraw or retain.
Occasionally business organisations pass through rough weather. For the sustenance of the organisation and to reduce expenses, the organisations withdraw the benefits provided earlier. There is nothing wrong with doing so, however, please take employees into confidence and explain to them clearly why the withdrawal became necessary. If the conditions under which the decision is taken are not communicated clearly, there could be backlash and the decision could do more harm than good.
Please note that in many companies, statutory obligations like PF, ESI, Gratuity etc. are called "benefits". However, please note the difference between "obligation" and "benefits". The latter is over and above the former and providing these is a prerogative of the company's administration. Statutory obligations have to be fulfilled however financially bad the condition of the company may be.
Thanks,
