Delay in paying salaries due to investors: Byju's

Byju's is facing delay in paying March salaries to its employees because the funds raised through the recent rights issue were locked in a separate account due to the ongoing dispute with investors.

Byju's management said in the letter sent to the employees, 'We are writing this letter to you today with a heavy heart but with hope and assurance. We regret to inform you that the company will again be delayed in paying salaries to all the employees.

The company further wrote in the letter, 'Some misguided foreign investors of Byju's have received an interim order in late February, banning the use of funds raised through successful rights issue. This irresponsible action by four foreign investors has forced us to temporarily stop salary distribution until the restrictions are lifted.

Byju's was delayed in paying salaries to its employees last month also

Byju's was also delayed in paying salaries to its employees last month. Then the company had asked the employees to wait till March 10 for February salary. Then the company's founder and CEO Byju Raveendran had sent a letter to the employees informing them about this.

Of the group of investors, 4 investors have fallen to the lowest level: Raveendran

Then Byju Raveendran had told the employees, 'Out of our group of more than 150 investors, 4 investors have fallen to the lowest level. Due to this we are not able to pay you salary. We had raised funds through rights issue only to pay salaries, but due to the ongoing legal dispute with the investors, it is currently locked in a separate account.

Raveendran had said, 'It is a sad reality that some investors have already made substantial profits. One of them has earned up to 8 times more profit than his initial investment. We are currently unable to provide you with the financial assistance you are entitled to. We are trying to get your salary paid by March 10th.

We will be able to pay salary only when we are allowed to do so as per law. Last month the company faced challenges due to lack of funds and now we are facing delays despite having funds.
