Security Deposit & Contract Conditions
The HR agency responsible for supplying manpower will be required to pay a security deposit of ₹2 lakh to TSRTC. This amount will be used to recover any financial losses incurred due to the conductors during their service period.
Notably:
- The Workmen’s Compensation Act will not apply to these positions.
- There will be no provision for PF (Provident Fund) or ESI (Employees’ State Insurance) benefits.
- These conductors will be hired purely on an outsourcing basis, with no statutory employment benefits.
Controversy Around Contractual Employment
The move has already sparked discussions around the lack of job security and employee benefits, as these conductors will not be entitled to standard labour protections. However, TSRTC officials argue that this model helps reduce costs and fill vacancies faster amid financial constraints.
