Corrections and clarifications

In “Narrowing the gap” (Editorial, March 27, 2008), on the main recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission headed by Justice B.N. Srikrishna, a sentence in the first paragraph was “… Another salutary feature is that the employees will be fitted into four broad salary bands and the number of pay scales brought down to 20 from the existing 34.” It should have been 35. (The report of the Sixth Pay Commission, submitted to the Government on March 24, 2008, says “The total number of grades reduced to 20 spread across four distinct running pay bands; one Apex Scale and another grade for the post of Cabinet Secretary/equivalent as against 35 standard pay scales existing earlier.”)

The second paragraph in a report “Ford workforce selected Tata Motors as its choice” (“Business” page, March 27, 2008) was “The negotiations have been spearheaded by Naval Tata, the widely respected and acclaimed industrialist.” It should have been Mr. Ratan Naval Tata. (Mr. Ratan Tata is the son of Naval H. Tata.)
