Yes,
VRS it Voluntary Retirement Sheme; CRS- is Compulsory Retirement Scheme.
VRS - Company offers a scheme by which surplus manpower is reduced. It involves lucrative economic package offered to those who opt to get out. It is beneficial to an employee since he gets a huge sum of money in single stroke, which he invests and earns recurring interest month after month. Moreover, if he is really a person to be worth hired, can get placed in similar industry or any other industry for a reasonably good salary; this is an additional income.
As far as employer is concerned, the position reduced by VRS is not going to be replaced. So, though heavy cash outflow costs his excheuquer today, over a period of time he achieves break even and gets rid of having a permanent workman in his role, thereby saves employees cost.
Whereas CRS, is a tool used to get rid of dead woods and unproductive employees construed to be liability to the company. There is no option available to one per se, he is persuaded to retire compulsorily; If he doesn't, there are plenty of reasons by which he will be made to quit. Therefore normally these employees will have no option but to opt for it.
