Enhancement of ceiling for calculation of ex-gratia bonus payable to Gramin Dak Sevaks
The Union Cabinet approved the
proposal of the Department of Posts to enhance the ceiling for
calculation of ex-gratia bonus payable to Gramin Dak Sevaks from Rs.
2,500/- to Rs.3,500/- same as that prescribed for the regular
departmental employees. The decision would be applicable with
prospective effect that is from the accounting year 2012-13 payable in
2013-14.
The increase in bonus calculation
ceiling will restore the long established parity between regular
departmental employees and Gramin Dak Sevaks on the issue of payment of
bonus. This decision will benefit 2.63 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks working in
the Department of Posts, who play a very vital role in providing
postal, financial and insurance services in the rural, hilly and tribal
areas of the country.
