"Anil Kumar, an ex employee of the company has made a complaint alleging non-payment of salary for three months and closure of all units without any communication from the management," Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply.
Earlier, employees of Chennai-headquartered Subhiksha had laid siege to the local head office alleging non-payment of salaries. In Chennai alone, there are about 1,000 employees, both on contract and on the roll, who have not received their pay packets since October 2008.
The cash-strapped retail chain had also acknowledged that salary cheques of some of its employees had not been honoured due to non-availability of liquidity.
It has been alleged that there has been a diversion and mismanagement of funds of the company. The Registrar of Companies had recommended inspection of its books of accounts.
