The complainants in their rejoinder submitted that the transport >>>>> allowance comes under 47% perquisites is applicable to all NTPC >>>>> employees. >>>>> The existing scheme is applicable to all NTPC executives and workmen. >>>>> They >>>>> are requesting for waiving the condition of having a self valid driving >>>>> license."" As per them a scheme which is meant for all employees should >>>>> not >>>>> have eligibility conditions which exclude 450 odd employees with >>>>> disabilities. This has resulted in substantial financial loss and >>>>> deprivation of rights of persons with disabilities. Persons who cannot >>>>> drive >>>>> themselves, should be allowed to produce the valid driving license of >>>>> the >>>>> person who drives their vehicle. The complainants have enclosed a copy >>>>> of >>>>> the scheme in Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited, a public sector >>>>> undertaking. >>>>> >>>>> 6. Upon considering the written submissions of the parties, a personal >>>>> hearing was scheduled for 27.02.2012. >>>>> >>>>> 7. During the hearing the representative of the respondent submitted >>>>> that >>>>> employees with disabilities can avail the company vehicle in the event >>>>> of >>>>> undertaking any local travel for official purpose.

The complainants highlighted the following points: >>>>> >>>>> (i) That many employees with disabilities including those with visual >>>>> impairment, naturally cannot drive the vehicle which they may own. >>>>> Hence >>>>> to >>>>> deprive them of the option of availing the benefit of the reimbursement >>>>> of >>>>> expenditure for local travel for official purpose is discriminatory and >>>>> exclusionary. >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> (ii) While one or two employees with disabilities are getting the >>>>> option >>>>> of >>>>> the said reimbursement, most are not. There may be situations where >>>>> even >>>>> persons without disability may not like driving their own vehicles or >>>>> such >>>>> persons who may temporarily be disabled or unfit. >>>>> >>>>> (iii) The complainants also cited the norms being followed by other >>>>> public >>>>> sector undertakings such as Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL), >>>>> Hindustan >>>>> Petro Chemical Limited (HPCL) etc which do not require a self valid >>>>> driving >>>>> license for availing similar facilities / schemes. >>>>> >>>>> (iv) One of the complainant Ms. Nirupama J. submitted a copy of a >>>>> relevant >>>>> note sheet to substantiate her statement that the concerned authorities >>>>> had >>>>> turned down her request for allowing her to opt for reimbursement of >>>>> expenditure for local travel for official purpose. >>>>> >>>>> (v) The complainants also submitted that they were not asking for any >>>>> special payment.

In the facts and circumstances stated above, and upon meticulous >>>>> examination of averments / submissions of the complainants and the >>>>> respondents, we feel that NTPC, by their act of institutionalizing >>>>> discriminatory and exclusionary norms is depriving its employees with >>>>> disabilities the option and the facility of getting the reimbursement >>>>> of >>>>> expenditure for local travel for official purposes and have acted >>>>> against >>>>> the established and recognized" norms of propriety and natural justice. >>>>> Since NTPC has demonstrated openness in the matter of employing persons >>>>> with >>>>> disabilities, it is all the more expected of NTPC to ensure that its >>>>> policies acquire a human face.
