At FCI, some loaders earn more than Rs 4 lakh/monthA six-figure salary would normally be associated with MBAs, doctors or engineers. But some loaders at the state-run Food Corporation of India (FCI) too earn that much.In August 2014, 370 workers received more than Rs 4 lakh in wages, incentives, arrears and overtime allowance. Another 386 workers received between Rs 2 lakh and 2.50 lakh in the same month.More than 6,000 workers at the agency, responsible for procuring, storing and transporting foodgrains in the country, received Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh. Often, well paid loaders hire workers -- or what is known as 'proxy labour' -- for Rs 7,000-8,000 to do their work.
