Dear
It gives us pain that to succeed something we are badly damaging the fabric of our national culture. Azim is such a marvelous personality in the list of worlds tycoons, I believe he may not be aware of such allowances if at all been given,and no doubt he is a social builder, however our HR professionals must once again give more thoughts in terms of giving comforts to employees in the perspective of retention and control attrition mechanism, and must guide the management inview of building employee, employer and the nation (society) healthy.

Wipro accused of breaking marriage
Haider Naqvi and BR Srikanth, The DNA
Wipro Chairman Azim Premji is used to being called a software czar and a member of the world’s billionaire club. But a homebreaker?
Recently a Kanpur-based Tripti Nigam filed a case against her husband Gaurav Nigam, an engineer at Wipro Technologies in Bangalore, and his boss Premji. She alleged that the IT major was "promoting illicit relationships" and breaking her home by giving her husband a "dating allowance".
"With this dating allowance, the firm helps my husband to keep up his illicit relationships with women. It is nothing but a home-breaking allowance," said Tripti.
The Nigams' two-year marriage is reportedly on the rocks. While Gaurav filed for divorce in April, Tripti in turn sued him and her in-laws in October under the new Domestic Violence Act. Now Premji is drawn into their conflict, with the court summoning him.
Kanpur’s Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ravindra Kumar issued notices to Premji, Gaurav and Pratik Kumar, head of Wipro’s human resource division, asking them to appear in person. Wipro has been asked to explain why it is giving a dating allowance to its workers.
A Wipro spokesman denied the company gave dating allowance to its employees. He said Premji’s office had not yet received any summons nor was the firm aware of the case.
According to Tripti’s lawyer Nandalal Jaiswal, Premji and others have been asked to appear before the court on November 29.
This is Really An Horrible situation .....

Hi,
This is utter nonsense. Just because the allowance is being called Dating Allowance does not mean that Wipro is actually encouraging dating amongst its employees. Why are not these allegations being levelled against Entertainment Allowance?
Wipro or any other company for that matter does not have any responsibility here. It is the activities of the fellow in question and his wife that has created this situation. Somebody who wants to carry on extra-marital affairs will do so whether or not he gets Dating Allowance or he does it out of his Basic Salary or his HRA.
Its just that the concept of Dating is not so established here as in the West, there is a social reputation angle to the term 'Dating'.

Hi Nithya, Ya I read this topic in the news paper today. This really sounds bad, where did you get this topic. Better we all drop this discussion. Regads, Sridhar.B

Hi Nitya,
Ya, even I felt very bad after reading about it in newspapers. I agree with Devjit.. if a person really want to have contact with others, he may not need be paid any special allowances from the company. If the company has given any such allowance, there is no compulsion that you have to take some other woman for a date. He could have taken his own wife and utilized that allowance. When the man himself had the intension of cheating his wife, no one could stop it.
But any way, being INDIANS, dating concept is not our culture. So, Wipro might have named it in some other way like entertainment allowance, etc which is not much controvertial.
