I am in the Post Production field and primarily in the Theatrical Release division, where we are solely dependent on the Cinemas for our business. Due to the lockdown and the cinemas being non operational for over 6 months, it has given a massive blow to our business and livelihood. So much so that we have had to close our operations in the other metro cities, so we can save the rental and salary costs. Currently I am in a situation where, even if the Cinemas manage to open in the next month or so, it will take a long time for the business to pick up, especially since most of the new movies / releases are taking the OTT route.
I have also been told verbally, that since the business is currently next to Zero, chances are that I may not get paid at all in the coming months, which is extremely traumatizing as I have Rent to pay and also manage my daughters school fees apart from the bare essentials to run a household.
Looking for some respite and assistance to help me tide over this trying time, as I am already having sleepless nights and also now suffering from High BP and lack of sleep owing to the current situation, which is getting increasingly difficult for me to manage. As per the Industry and my company, Salaries shall take a good 6 months to stabilize and the constant calls and visits for demanding payments as well as the Bounce charges is adding to the overall stress as I am currently not in a Financial condition to make any payments. I have sent emails regarding my situation constantly to the Aditya Birla group, mentioning my situation to them. The Job Market is also tough out there as nobody is hiring and I am just thankful that I have a job currently. My CTC Pre Covid was 1, 27, 000/- per month and currently my salary credited to my account for the month of September 2020 was 35, 000/-. Attached is a copy of my latest Salary Slip. My Salary has been revised thrice since the lockdown and currently it stands as per the details in my salary slip.
