Bangalore: IT bellwether Wipro Ltd on Thursday denied it had any ‘dating allowance’ for its employees and declined to comment on reports of a summons issued by a court on a complaint by the spouse of an employee.
In a statement, the company said it had not received any notice from the Kanpur court so far.
“We would like to categorically state we don't have a dating allowance in any form and, hence, cannot elaborate on this alleged issue. We have no formal intimation on this,” the statement said.
The denial came following the reported summons from chief additional metropolitan magistrate of Kanpur, Ravindra Kumar, to Wipro Chairman Azim H Premji and human resource department head Pratik Kumar on a writ petition filed by Tripti Nigam from that city alleging that the company was providing a dating allowance to her husband, Gaurav Nigam, who is working in Wipro Technologies as a software engineer.
The complainant had alleged that her husband was keeping away from her and has not been visiting Kanpur since he was getting a dating allowance from the company.
