Six Lakh State Government Employees To Get Two Times Bonus

Chief Minister’s Initiative

Chief Minister Smt. Vasundhara Raje has initiated to grant ad hoc bonus to all state government employees which would be two times than that of the previous financial year. About 6 lakh employees would be benefited.

As per the order, other than the officers of the state services, all employees having grade pay of Rs. 4,800 or less would be given bonus. Calculation would be made for payment of Rs. 7,000 as bonus for a 31-days month for the financial year 2015-16 against that of Rs. 3,500 for the year 2014-15.

This way, every employee would get a maximum of Rs. 6,774 as ad hoc bonus. This would impact the state exchequer with additional expenditure of Rs. 406 crore. Bonus would also be payable to employees of Panchayat Samiti, Zila Parishad and work-charge employees.
