 “CENTRAL GOVERNMENT TODAY HAS ANNOUNCED 78 DAYS BONUS TO RAILWAY EMPLYOYEES. DECISION HAS BEEN TAKEN IN A CABINET MEETING HELD TODAY AT NEW DELHI. PLEASE KEEP ON LOGGING TO OUR WEBSITES FOR DETAILS.”

Its very difficult time for central government employees and railway employees as they are kept in the dark whether Calculation and eligibility ceiling for bonus will be raised or not. If the Cabinet decides to announce the Bonus today , about 13 lakh railway employees will get Productivity Linked Bonus this month. Productivity-linked bonus is paid to railway employees each year before the Dussehra festival.

If the Cabinet announce for a 78-day bonus for railway men then the railway employees will get about Rs 8897 as bonus this month as per the existing calculation.
