Sub: Raising the ceiling for calculation purpose from the salary of Rs.2500/- P.M. to Rs.3.500/-P.M. for payment of Productivity Linked Bonus for the year 2006-07

 

Sir,

It has been learnt that on 27.10.2007 President has promulgated the payment of Bonus (Amendment) ordinance 2007 according to which section 12 of the payment of Bonus Act 1965 has been amended raising the ceiling for calculation purpose from salary of 2500/- P.M. to Rs.3500/-P.M. w.e.f. 01.04.2006.

 

It is therefore, requested that for the payment of Productivity Linked Bonus/Adhoc Bonus for the year 2006-07 to central Govt. employees the ceiling for calculation purpose from salary also be raised from Rs.2500/-p.m. to 3500/-p.m. and the revised orders issued for payment of Bonus for 2006-07 at the revised ceiling of Rs.3500/-p.m.

 

Incidentally it may also be indicated that when the above ceiling was raised from Rs.1600/-p.m. to Rs.2500/-p.m. by amending Bonus Act in the past, the necessary change was also made in case of Central Govt. employees as well and the difference was paid. It is urged that amendment/ correction may kindly be made without any undue delay so that Central Govt. employees are not unduly exercised

 

Yours faithfully
