Dear Sir’s / Madam
I have attached my above car at GoHippo through company called (Midtown Travel Studio) at TCS Transport dept. at Kensington, Powai, Mumbai office for drop & pickup of TCS associates & I have been working there in night shift from last June 2023. As per TCS policy Car manufacturing year for 2016 has been removed from the service from 01st March 2024, but I am very much thankful to Sagar Sir, Swapnil Sir from TCS & of course Suresh Sir from GoHippo for extending my tenor for 1 month till 31st March 2024.
Sir as per Invoice raised by (Midtown Travel Studio) for the of month January 24 an amount of Rs. 41, 266.00 by way of salary was due for payment between 20 to 25 of Mar 24, but as of today, I have not received any payment & now we are in the month of April 24. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unpaid salary for the month of Jan 24 & payment for Feb & Mar 24 are due in coming days. During whole period working at TCS, Midtown Travel Studio is withholding my salary without giving any genuine reasons & explanation. I have been following with the proprietor of the company for last 10 to 12 days, and lots of message are exchanged between me & him but he is not cooperating at all.
Sir every month of any 1 Friday we have briefing at TCS office between TCS Transport Admin staff, Supervisor of ECO, Meru, Atharva, GoHippo and Drivers. In briefing training for drivers are given in briefing we are also told to take care of associates not to argue with them, car should be cleaned, we should carry all necessary tool kit with us etc. etc., Sir in these last 10 months I have almost attended all briefing and in this month’s no one from TCS admin staff or any supervisor staff asked the driver that “App lok ka payment time pe mil rahana hain ya nahin, kay app ko koi paresani ya problem hain”, yes if any associates would have complaint about any driver then within no time action is taken against him, then why don’t TCS takes action or banned the vendor who are careless in paying salary to driver on time. Sir we drivers carry out our duties & responsibility in a very responsible way with dedication without seeing our comfort & following all traffic rules on roads with safety of associates. I am proud to say that we drivers are backbone of transport department.
When asked TCS staff about payment released for Jan 24 they yes, when asked GoHippo staff about payment released they say yes, that means making payment to each other solves the problem according to them but is not their duty to check from vendor whether has made the payment to drivers. Sir let me tell you for payment I reached out to everyone, 1st I met Mr. Vinod Sir from GoHippo on 1st of April 24 at GoHippo office R City Mall & told him that I have not received my salary from Midtown Travel Studio but it was of no use, then I sent message to Transport Admin Swapnil Sir he replied me “Ok will talk to them” but of no use & then my last hope was Transport Admin Sagar Sukla Sir & I messaged him with my problem & he replied me “Don’t worry I spoke with GoHippo they will do” but again it was of no use.
Sir since our holy month Ramadan is going & we Muslims have tradition to give every year 2.5% of our income in form of Zakat to poor & needy, so I have decided to waive all my payments & give Zakat in the name Allah to proprietor of Midtown Travel Studio because it seems he is more poor & needy than me. The purpose of Complaint is that after going through proper channel & to everyone I did not get any solution & second purpose is that no one should suffer like me how I am suffering now. I would definitely like add to my conclusion that whenever you take briefing of drivers, please make a habit of asking drivers whether they are receiving their payment / salary in time. If I have hurt anyone by words through this letter, then I am sorry please forgive me.
Sir this has put me to huge hardship as I found it uneasy to meet my financial responsibilities & I am not from a financially strong family, my family runs on my monthly payment and if at all the payment comes from Midtown Travel Studio it doesn’t solve my purpose because on 11 of April 2024 we Muslims are celebrating our Eid-Ul Fitr and I am not ready for celebration because we have to make lots of preparation in advance and I & my family are not ready celebration because I am out of funds, it is my faith.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely
(Rifat Ali Shaikh)
