Dear Sir,

Under instructions from and on behalf of my client, Capt. Sanjay

Birua, earlier having Air India Employee Staff No. 27646,Emp no 80006865,
Phone No. 9930298737, EmailAddress:- captbirua17@gmail.com, with
Permanent Address:- House No. 91, New Ulidih Birsa Road, Mango,
Jamshedpur, Jharkhand - 831012; you are served the following demand
notice.:

1. My client is a former employee of erstwhile Air India, who had to

leave and seek an alternate employment due to the breach of terms and
conditions of his employment as agreed upon in his Wage Agreement
along with stagnation of career progression. My client was employed
with Air India from 20/07/2007 until 11/04/2017.

2. My client, during his employment received a certain Allowances

(Flying Allowance and Layover Subsistence Allowance), which were
unilaterally and illegally reduced by 25% starting September 2012
until the last day of his employment as listed above. My client is no
longer in employment of Air India and is neither part of any
employee’s union of Air India, nor represented otherwise in the
pending litigation concerning the deduction of 25% of Allowances.
Further, my client has time and again requested Air India for a final
settlement of his dues relating to the Allowances, but the same has not
been settled as yet to a tune of approx. Rs. 59,18,044/- (Rs. Fifty Nine
Lacs Eighteen Thousand Forty Four).

3. My client states that apart from the pending Allowances; Gratuity,

Leave encashment, unpaid Overtime and the Provident Fund (PF) of my
client has also not been settled. In a meeting held 01/09/2021, the CMD
had assured that payment of Gratuity to all employees, including ex-
employees. Also, according to the CMD the transfer of PF to EPFO
would cover any shortfall in recovery or transition, to be borne by
Government of India/Air India.

4. My client has completed the stipulated bond period agreed upon during
his joining and any further training imparted to my client was due to
explicit choice and requirement of Air India. He has not signed any
bond or contractual agreement for successive training.

5. Further, in light of the planned disinvestment of Air India, it is

requested that all dues be cleared by Air India and any prospective
bidder be made fully aware of these above pending claims and transfer
of liability, should the dues not be paid prior to disinvestment.

6. That it must be noted that my client has several effective legal remedies
available under law to ensure payment of the respective dues by Air
 India. However, before any legal action is initiated against Air India,
we earnestly request you to direct Air India and its management to clear
and settle all outstanding dues along with interest at the rate of 12% per
annum,

Sincerely,

Advocate
