Labour Ministry notice to Huawei on employment of Chinese

The Ministry of Labour and Employment has sent a notice to the Chinese telecom equipment manufacturing firm Huawei for allegedly employing a large number of Chinese workers in the country without proper work permits.

The Ministry has also said that the Chinese workers in the company were not paying applicable income-tax.

The notice comes a few days ahead of the opening of a mega BSNL tender for 90 million GSM lines for which Huawei is also likely to bid.

When contacted, the Huawei spokesperson said, “We have received this above mentioned letter at our office today, on August 25 and we are quite naturally seized of the matter and are in the process of updating and appraising the Ministry concerned on the various points highlighted in the letter.
