Bonus of Rs. 7000/- to Central Government Employees not justifiable – Govt replies to Staff Side JCM

Amendment of Bonus Act passed in the Parliament provides for increase in Bonus Calculation Ceiling to Rs. 7000/- (for 30 days) – However, Govt has not accepted the demand of Staff Side JCM for paying adhoc Bonus applicable for Central Government Employees at par with this amendment

Increase in Bonus Limit to Rs. 7000 – Staff Side JCM urges for issue of executive orders

After enactment of Payment of Bonus (Amendment) Bill 2015, Bonus eligibility ceiling has been increased to Rs. 21,000 and Bonus Ceiling has been fixed at Rs. 7000. So, if Basic Pay plus DA of an employee is less than or equal to Rs. 21,000 then he / she will be eligible for PLB / Adhoc Bonus
