Flipkart offers Rs 50,000 allowance to employees for adoption

NEW DELHI: After relaxing maternity and paternity policies, e-commerce major Flipkart is now offering an allowance of Rs 50,000 to employees looking to adopt children.

The "adoption allowance", effective July 10, can be used towards legal, agency, regulatory costs or any other expenses that may arise during the adoption process, a Flipkart spokesperson told PTI.

According to data from Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), 1,368 children found new homes in the January-March quarter of 2015.

The adoption rates have been dismal in the country even though India has one of the largest population of children who are abandoned, deserted or are in institutional care.

Just trying to look different. Nothing honest. All this they are doing to grab eyeballs and make headlines.

Never heard of adoption allowance.....

That's why they are trying something special just for publicity and they are successful in this.

Nice initiative by FK, whether they are doing for publicity or assisting employees, I welcome this and this will stand chance for homeless children much needed care, attention and most importantly love. We Indians fear the society and will never come forward to these kind of holy gestures.

I guess you would have never heard of Internet 30 years back, but we got slowly adapted/adjusted ourselves to this is it not?

No doubt it's a noble move but the way Flipkart is initiating these policies it clearly hints they are publicizing and not really interested or honest for helping such children's.

No company declares their HR policies like this.

So, I am not liking this ugly moves and publicity stunt of Flipkart
