As the stand-off continues between the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) and Prasar Bharati, Prasar Bharati had to use the reserve fund to pay the salaries of the Air India and DD staff. Prasar Bharati CEO SS Vempati tweeted to inform the media.
He clarified that Rs 208 crore released by the public broadcaster towards staff salaries on February 28 were from its reserves. His tweet read as, “Noticed reports in sections of media on non-disbursal of salaries to DD & AIR staff. Rs 208 cr towards salaries were released on the 28th Feb 2018. Attempts to create panic malafide. PB (Prasar Bharati) has so far received Rs 1989 crores from MIB (Ministry of Information and Broadcasting) as grants-in-aid for salaries during FY2017-18."
The I&B ministry had issued a statement saying that the Prasar Bharati had not signed an MoU with it as required by autonomous bodies getting grants-in-aid by the government.
