PREFACE:
The project is done on the O.N.G.C. Firstly I got information about the economic position of the
ONGC, then about the industry, after that I have done at incentive scheme in ONGC ,
Incentive Scheme in ONGC has been in existence since late 60s and with the passage of time has
under gone number of reviews. Keeping the present business scenario in focus ONGC management
have realized that scheme has not able to achieve the desired objectives as intended in the scheme.
The main purpose of the scheme is to motivate the employees to achieve the target set by the

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As the education of future managers would be incomplete without exposure to working in

an organization a summer training assignment is as essential requirement for BBA course.
My experience of the training was nice. I got a cooperative guide in the
company who helped in every respect . He used his personal contacts to get me appoin- tments from heads of different departments.
The other executives were also supportive & explained me everything as per their knowledge. There
was some bitter experience like some executives refused to give time; some did not explained
satisfactorily, etc.
The training report concerns the welfare schemes at ONGC with various recommendations to
make effective specially through looking at employees satisfaction level.
The study was carried out in R H PATEL INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT Accordingly
the training was concluded with recommendations to ONGC as regards certain measures,
which can be considered to have better satisfied executives contributing their best for
achieving organizational goals.

INTRODUCTION OF ONGC
COMPANY HISTORY
1947-1960:
During the pre-independence period, the Assam oil Company in the northeastern and Atoka oil
Company in northwestern part in of the undivided India were the only oil companies producing oil
in the country, with minimal exploration input. The major part of India sedimentary basins was
deemed to be unfit for development of oil and gas resources.
After independence, the national Government realized the importance oil and gas for rapid
industrial development and its strategic role in defense. Consequently, while framing the industrial
policy statement of 1948, the development of petroleum industry in the country was considered to
be of utmost necessity.
In 1955, Government of India decided to develop the oil and natural gas resources in the various
region of the country as the part of the public Sector development. With this objective, an oil and
natural gas directorate was set up towards the end of 1955, as a subordinate office under the then
ministry of natural resources and scientific research. The department was constituted with a nucleus
of geoscientists from the Geological survey of India.
1961-1990:
Since its inception, ONGC has been instrumental in transforming the countrys limited upstream
sector into a large viable playing field, with its activities spread throughout India and significantly
in overseas territories. In the inland areas, ONGC not found new resources in Assam but also
established new oil provides in cam bay basin (Gujarat),while adding new petroliferous areas in the
Assam-Arakan fold belt and East Belt and East coast basins (both inland and offshore).
After 1990:
The liberalized economic policy, adopted by the Government of India in July 1991, sought to
deregulate and de-license the core sector (including petroleum sector) with partial in disinvestment
of government equity in Public Sector Undertaking and other measures. As a consequence thereof,
ONGC was re-organized as a limited company under the companys Act 1956, in February 1994.
After the conversion of business of the erstwhile oil and natural gas commission to that of
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. 1993, the government disinvested of its share though
competitive bidding. Subsequently, ONGC expanded its equity by another percent by offering
shares to its employees.
During March 1999, ONGC, India oil corporation (IOC) a downstream giant and gas
Authority of India ltd. (GAIL) the only Gas marketing company, agreed to have cross holding in
each other stock. This paved the way for long-term strategic alliances both for the domestic and
overseas business opportunities in the energy value chain, amongst themselves. Consequent to this
the government sold off 10 percent of its share holding in ONGC to IOC and 2.5 percent GAIL.
With this, government holding in ONGC came down to 84.11 percent.

2. NATURE OF INCENTIVE:
28

I. SCOPE
This incentive shall be payable to executives who acquire higher/additional professional
Qualifications in their respective disciplines.
II ELIGIBILITY
1. The incentive of two increments shall be given to the executives who attain First
Class or 60% level (where such grades are awarded) in professional qualifications
Higher than the qualifications prescribed at the induction level after joining the
Corporation provided that these qualifications are in line with the discipline in
which the executive is working. However, the condition of securing First Class or
60% level is not applicable in case of CA/ICWA w.e.f. 6.10.1998 and also in such
Cases where the executives had acquired the qualification of CA/ICWA prior to
6.10.1998 but after joining ONGC. However in such cases the increments shall be
admissible only w.e.f. 6.10.1998.
2. Executives who had started their studies for acquiring higher/additional
Professional qualification prior to joining ONGC, but acquired the said qualification
after joining the Corporation are also eligible for benefit under the scheme.
3. ENTITLEMENT:
29

I.
Two increments at the increment rate admissible at the time of acquiring
the qualification
shall be treated as PERSONAL Pay and shall be carried over by the executive separately. The
increments are to be counted for payment of all allowances except Dearness Allowance; and are not
to be counted for determining the rate of annual increment and fixation of pay on promotion.
a) Rate of incentive increments to executives granted incentive for acquiring
higher
qualification prior to 01.01.1997: Executives who had been granted incentive increments prior to
01.01.1997 and were in receipt of these increments in the pre-revised scales will be entitled to draw
incentive increments w.e.f. 01.01.1997 in the revised pay scales with reference to the post held by
them as on 01.01.1997. The incentive increments for this purpose will be calculated at the rate
applicable at the minimum of the revised basic pay of the post.
Illustration : If an executive was granted incentive increment prior to 01.01.1997, when he was at
E-2 level, and he is at E-4 level as on 01.01.1997, the amount of incentive increments will be
calculated at the minimum of E-4 scale of pay and not repeat not on the actual basic pay being
drawn by the individual in E-4 level.
c)
Rate of incentive increments to executives granted incentive for acquiring higher
qualification after 01.01.1997: Executives who have been granted incentive increments for
acquiring higher qualification on or after 01.01.1997, will be entitled to draw the incentive
increments on the revised basic pay drawn by the individual at the time of acquiring higher
qualification.
d)
Executives who have been granted incentive increments w.e.f. 06.10.1998 in terms of Office
Orders No. 1(12)/97/Incentive/EP dated 06.10.1998 & 16.11.1998 will draw the increment w.e.f.
06.10.1998 with reference to the level as on 01.01.1997 or actual date of acquiring qualification
whichever is later on the same principle as enumerated in para (a) & (b) above.
30

e)
Rate of Increments in case of retrospective promotion/pay fixation: In both these cases, the
amount of incentive increments shall be regulated as per (a) or (b) above depending upon the
effective date of promoted post deemed to be held or the basic pay deemed to have been drawn on
the date of grant of incentive increments for higher qualification as the case may be taking into
account whether the executive was granted incentive increment on or after 01.01.1997 or prior to it.
II
The rate of increment is dynamic i.e. on subsequent pay revisions the increment rate gets
revised to an amount to be calculated on the minimum of the revised pay scale of the relevant post
held at the time of grant of such increment. Employees who are actually drawing incentive
increments at a higher rate than that admissible on the lowest scale of pay continue to draw
incentive increment at the old rates
III. TREATMENT OF PERSONAL PAY(HQ)

The personal pay on account of grant of incentive increment for acquiring higher qualification
would count for all purposes at par with Basic Pay except Dearness Allowance and would not be
counted for determining the rate of annual incentive and fixation of pay on promotion
III a. ENTITLEMENT (For qualification acquired on or after 01/03/2008):

The revised monthly monetary incentive amount for qualification acquired on or after 1.3.2008 is
as follows:
Grade/Level
E-0
Incentive Amount

E-4
1400
E-5
1480
E-6
1560
E-7/8
1640

The above amounts are fixed and would have no bearing on change in pay scales.

continue to draw the same amount during the entire service.
