Suggested Approach to cut Expenses on Travel
:
1. Call Centre Approach– We create a
dedicated space at mutually agreed & suitable
location for Travel services delivery of all power
sector CPSEs.
By a conservative estimate at present in
22CPSEs, travel delivery would be managed by
22x4 = 88persons(may be 100), with average
Salary of per person 6 lacs p.a = 528lacs.
By adopting Call Centre Approach this number
can be brought down considerably to 25-28
persons with Annual budget of within 200 lacs
