new Delhi: 

The central government has said that from Monday, IT and ITES companies can start working with 50 percent of their employees. But it is also a question that the employees of companies should not be able to return to office so soon. This issue has come up in a meeting with Deputy Chief Minister Ashwat Narayan in Karnataka. The Deputy Chief Minister has also said that it may be possible for companies to take weeks to bring back 50 per cent of the workforce. Kiran Mazmudar, managing director of Bokan company, said in the meeting, the pass system issued by the police has done a good job. It should be extended further. Additional passes should also be issued. Private car companies should not get discounts so soon. BMTC buses should be started instead

Let us tell you that the organization of information technology (IT) industry NASSCOM has said that IT companies will call employees to work from office in a phased manner. In the beginning, only an office of 15 to 20 percent employees will be called. The Home Ministry has issued guidelines in this regard on Wednesday in view of the nationwide bandh. As the corona virus spread, the government has increased the lockdown to 3 May on Tuesday. 

The Ministry of Home Affairs issued guidelines for the states, union territories and general public during the extended period of bandh. As per the guidelines, IT and IT based service companies have been allowed to operate with up to 50 per cent employees.
Nasscom tweeted, ‘We will call the employees in office in a phased manner. Initially only 15 to 20 percent of the employees will be called to office.

Nasscom chairman Debjani Ghosh also tweeted that members have been informed to invite employees to work. We have suggested to call 15 to 20 percent employees in the first phase.
