Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd MD Ashwini Bhide's salaries are far lesser as compared to 6 officials working with the Corporation. The 6 officials who are getting higher salaries are Project Director Subodh Gupta, System Director Ajay Kumar Bhat, Executive director R Ramanna, CFO Indraniel Sarkar, Executive Director (Electrical) R K Sharma, GM Civil Charuhas Jadhav are leading the pack as per information provided to RTI Activist Anil Galgali by the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. RTI Activist Anil Galgali had sought information about the salaries of officials and staff of the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd for the month of March 2016 . The Dy Accountant and Public Information officer of the MMRCL Ganesh Ghule provided Anil Galgali with a list of 119 officials and employees. After going through the list it came to be understood that 6 officials enjoy higher salaries than even their bosses , CM Devendra Fadnavis and MD Ashwini Bhide. The officials on the top are Project Director Subodh Gupta (Rs 2,08,706/-), System Director Ajay Kumar Bhat (Rs 2,03,346/-), Executive Director (Electrical) R K Sharma (Rs 1,92,945/-), Executive Director R Ramanna (Rs 1,82,688/-), CFO Indraniel Sarkar (Rs 1,51,936/-), GM Civil Charuhas Jadhav (Rs 1,51,936/-) Mr R Ramanna the Executive Director was previously working illegally with the MMRDA and after the Govt's order to remove him had resigned and then obtained job at the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. The Maharashtra CM's salary is Rs 57,000/- and the MD of the MMRCL, Mrs Ashwini Bhide receives a salary of Rs 1,43,051/-. Mrs Ashwini Bhide has been posted as MD of the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd by the Maharashtra government and functions as it's chief and is the final decision maker in the Corporation. Almost 21 officials who have retired from the MMRDA consist of the total 119 officials and staff. Out of the 21 retired officials 5 have been rehabilitated as Advisors and 5 as OSD. CGM (Track) D G Divte and Civil Advisor S R Nandirgirkar receive the maximum salary of 1 Lakh per month each amongst the retired rehabilitated category. It is significant to point here that there is a stay on the appointments of retired officials after the order of the courts in the Dr Jagannath Dhone V/S State of Maharashtra. Out of the 119 , 63 are regular, 15 are on deputation, 20 on direct contract and 21 are re-employed (Retired). RTI Activist Anil Galgali expressed his views that, apart from the salaries, these officials enjoy perks like government accommodation, vehicles etc. The government should monitor and conduct evaluation of the performance of such officials every 3 months to ensure that proper output of work is taken from those who have been appointed as the money being paid to them goes from the government exchequer.
