New Delhi:
Union Government on Wednesday cleared a proposal to give productivity linked bonus to about 12 lakh railway employees ahead of the festive season.
The proposal was cleared at the Union Cabinet meeting.
Railways had proposed to give 78 day’s wages as productivity-linked bonus, the same as the last three years, despite the financial crunch. This could mean that the employees will get Rs 8897 as bonus for this month.
The burden on railways is estimated to cost more than Rs 800 crores.
