Mumbai Firm Faces Backlash for Hiring Only Homeowners
A company in Mumbai is only hiring people who own a home in the city.
This rule is causing a lot of arguments online.
People are sharing the job application form on social media, which says that if you live in a rented place or a paying guest accommodation, you can't apply.
Many people think this is unfair and might even be against the law.
They say the company might be trying to pay lower salaries because people who live with their parents don't have to pay rent.
Some people also think this could be a problem because the constitution says everyone should have equal job opportunities.
A Mumbai-based company requires job applicants to have a permanent home in Mumbai.
The job application form went viral on X, sparking debates on fairness and workplace ethics.
The form specifies that candidates living in rented or paying guest accommodations are not eligible.
Netizens argue that the requirement could lead to lower salaries and might violate constitutional rights.
Some users point out that such 'locals only' hiring practices are not uncommon.
