Mumbai: Bharti Airtel<\/a> has rolled out performance bonuses for its employees but has held back the hikes and will take a call when the business turns around sustainably and there is more clarity on the impact of statutory dues on the company's financials, a person familiar with the matter said.
Competitor Vodafone<\/a> Idea is also unlikely to roll out hikes or bonuses this year, having highlighted its financial stress in the Supreme Court<\/a> recently, said another person. Reliance Jio<\/a> is expected to roll out bonuses in August, and may see an increment given to its top performers later on in the year.
\"The (Airtel<\/a>) bonuses were announced on Thursday but employees were told unofficially that a call will be taken on their increments towards the last quarter of the (calendar) year,\" the person said.

\"The (Airtel<\/a>) bonuses were announced on Thursday but employees were told unofficially that a call will be taken on their increments towards the last quarter of the (calendar) year,\" the person said.
<\/div><\/div>Airtel's hikes for its 15,872 employees hinges on the government and Supreme Court's decision on whether they accept the deferred payment plans of adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues. Telcos, including Airtel, have sought 20 years to pay back their AGR dues<\/a>. The next SC hearing in the matter is in the third week of July, by when the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and telcos need to agree on a payments roadmap.
Airtel, which didn\u2019t respond to ET\u2019s queries, has so far paid the telecom department Rs 18,000 crore of its Rs 44,000 crore of AGR dues.
The telco is the first amongst the trio\u2014Vodafone Idea, Airtel and Reliance Jio\u2014to roll out bonuses. According to industry<\/a> executives, the telecom sector, despite being amongst the sectors least affected by the ongoing Covid crisis, is still struggling from years of intense competition coupled with debt of Rs 7 lakh crore, and will remain tight fisted for the next few quarters.

Vodafone Idea and Jio did not respond to ET's queries.
For its January-March quarter, Airtel reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 5,237 crore, mainly because of a one-time charge, which comprises mainly of a charge on account of reassessment of regulatory cost based on a recent judgment on one-time spectrum charge (OTSC) related matters, write-downs on 3G gear, besides higher finance costs. The India mobile services business though continued to recover, with average revenue per user (ARPU) rising sequentially for the fourth quarter, helped by higher data usage and tariff hikes.
<\/div><\/div>Cash strapped Vodafone Idea, on its part, is unlikely to roll out hikes or bonuses for this fiscal year for its 11,000 employees. VIL, the most affected by the AGR crisis, is also awaiting the final SC call on the issue. It has so far paid only Rs 6,854 crore out of estimated dues of Rs 58,254 crore.
\"We don\u2019t have enough money to even pay our employees and meet our expenses,\" the company's legal representative told the apex court earlier this month, during a hearing of the AGR case<\/a>.
This time last year, VIL\u2014which was created in August 2018 after the merger of Vodafone India and Idea Cellular\u2014gave its employees a raise after stringent cost cutting measures.

<\/a><\/div>Airtel to pay May salaries of 30,000 staff to support distributors, retail franchises<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
Vodafone Idea and Jio did not respond to ET's queries.
For its January-March quarter, Airtel reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 5,237 crore, mainly because of a one-time charge, which comprises mainly of a charge on account of reassessment of regulatory cost based on a recent judgment on one-time spectrum charge (OTSC) related matters, write-downs on 3G gear, besides higher finance costs. The India mobile services business though continued to recover, with average revenue per user (ARPU) rising sequentially for the fourth quarter, helped by higher data usage and tariff hikes.
<\/div><\/div>Cash strapped Vodafone Idea, on its part, is unlikely to roll out hikes or bonuses for this fiscal year for its 11,000 employees. VIL, the most affected by the AGR crisis, is also awaiting the final SC call on the issue. It has so far paid only Rs 6,854 crore out of estimated dues of Rs 58,254 crore.

<\/div><\/div>Cash strapped Vodafone Idea, on its part, is unlikely to roll out hikes or bonuses for this fiscal year for its 11,000 employees. VIL, the most affected by the AGR crisis, is also awaiting the final SC call on the issue. It has so far paid only Rs 6,854 crore out of estimated dues of Rs 58,254 crore.
\"We don\u2019t have enough money to even pay our employees and meet our expenses,\" the company's legal representative told the apex court earlier this month, during a hearing of the AGR case<\/a>.
This time last year, VIL\u2014which was created in August 2018 after the merger of Vodafone India and Idea Cellular\u2014gave its employees a raise after stringent cost cutting measures.
