“Please be assured that we are doing everything to make this happen, and we are confident that there will be no further delays after this,” the email from Dunzo added.

Earlier, Dunzo promised its employees to pay 12% yearly interest on held-back salaries.

The company promised that employees would receive interest on the difference amount. To briefly explain the structuring of interest if the employee’s salary is Rs.50,000 and the employee has been paid Rs.25,000. The 12% interest will be on the difference of Rs.25,000.
