DD, AIR staff want MIB not to route their salaries via Prasar Bharati

In the latest development on salary issue of Prasar Bharati, the Unions of various departments of All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan (DD) have written to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) not to route their salaries via Prasar Bharati. They requested MIB to work out a mechanism for paying salaries directly.


Prasar Bharati is an autonomous body under MIB and oversees AIR and DD, whose employees’ salaries are paid by the Ministry, but routed through the Prasar Bharti.

Also, the staff demanded that security from vital installation of both AIR and DD that has been withdrawn or reduced by PB citing “financial crunch” should be reversed to protect these installation that come under the Official Secrets Act 1923.

The Association of Akashvani and DD engineering employees, audience research employees association, Akashvani announcers association are the organizations which wrote the letter.

The unions in the letter have pointed out that there has been “regular non disbursement of salaries to the employees on time since July 2017 till date, despite regular intervention from MIB.”
