Reliance Industries chairman and Asia\u2019s richest man Mukesh Ambani has decided to forego his entire salary of Rs 15 crore a year, as the ongoing coronavirus crisis has not even spared India\u2019s most valuable company. RIL\u2019s entire board and senior leaders of the gas and oil division will take salary cuts of up to 50%, Reuters reported citing a company letter. On the other hand, employees earning more than Rs 15 lakh a year will bear a salary cut of 10%, while the cuts will be 30% to 50% for senior executives, Reuters added. Those earning below Rs 15 lakh a year will not face any cuts.<\/p>\n

This has of course put pressure on our Hydrocarbons business necessitating organization and cost reduction across all fronts,\u201d Hital R Meswani said in the letter to employees, according to the Reuters report. The annual cash bonuses and performance linked incentives have also been postponed to a later date. The coronavirus outbreak has posed challenges to India and the world.
