90% of the cases will be false. Yes, the company will be compelled to review the policy. Just wait and watch. Most of the cases will be in the Call Centre, BPO, and IT sectors. It will help the company if preventive measures are taken by reviewing the policy.

Brother! 90%. It is a good percentage indeed. To my intuition, any review of company policy can not contain the tide. regards

Hi,
I am shocked to see this practice in a reputed Indian company, though many MNCs are already practicing it. My doubt is, can a company introduce allowances for its employees without the knowledge of a CEO? Moreover, can it be done without the involvement of the HR department? And most importantly, are employees utilizing allowances genuinely?
Companies are considering dating allowances as a motivational factor, but to what extent are they right? Are they benefiting their manpower in any manner? Instead, they are spoiling the entire work culture by encouraging them. In my opinion, companies need not involve in the personal issues of their employees unless it is affecting the organizational growth. Let there be a gap between personal and professional life.
On the other hand, I am worried about the future of our Indian culture.

Hi everybody,
Why not consider employing married couples in the same company and extending the working hours of the family as a whole? This could simplify the lives of families through the following initiatives:
- Having food courts in the workplace
- Establishing a baby care center within the premises
- Allowing mothers and fathers to visit their children every 3-4 hours for about 15-20 minutes
- Providing tutorials for children within the work premises
- Offering Yoga Centers
Implementing these and many more measures could enhance the commitment towards family, subsequently increasing emotional intelligence (EI) within the organization. The workplace should feel more like home.
Negative behaviors such as Domestic Violence (DV) Act issues and dating are often manifestations of employees' mental dissatisfaction, leading them to seek solace in other distractions. Let us embrace and showcase the rich Indian culture!
These are some immediate thoughts that came to mind, which I wanted to share with all of you!
Thanks & regards,

Hi Perumal,
Your inputs are really nice, and I believe they will be beneficial in the future. I also support the idea of hiring the couple, but I suggest placing them in different departments within the same premises. It is important that the couple does not have a hierarchical reporting relationship, meaning one should not be junior or senior to the other.

Dear All,
This is a concerning complaint. An employee may utilize the dating allowance to take out their wife, sister, or even mother for dinner, etc. Similarly, an employee could potentially misuse the House Rent Allowance (HRA) to accommodate their girlfriend or use the Medical Allowance to pay the bills of their partner. In such scenarios, would the Domestic Violence Act apply once again?
In India, various possibilities exist.

Hi Govind,
Are you an HR Consultant? I have doubts about your profession. Consultants never speak bluntly the way you have written here. You are supposed to come with suggestions only. Are all Indian lawmakers mad?
There is a Hindi proverb that says, "Dhunwa uthata hai means jarur kahi aag lagi hogi!"
Brother, think a thousand times before blaming Indians.
Note: Please comment on my blunt reply.
