Dear Comrades,

 

As you are aware., the Government took the decision to raise the bonus ceiling for the purpose of computation from Rs 2500 to Rs 3500 after more than a decade.   As per the Press Information Bureau release, this decision of the cabinet is applicable to the bonus payable to the workers for the FY 2006-07 onwards.   The Adhoc and productivity linked bonus in the case of  CG Employees were declared and paid in Sept. Oct. 2007.

 

Confederation has taken up this issue with the Government.  The Secretary of the Staff Side of the JCM National council had also written to the Secretary, Expenditure and  Secretary Personnel, indicating the need for making this applicable to the CGEs. for the year 2006-07 and revise the orders issued in respect of PLB and adhoc bonus.   We have been informed by the Officials in the Finance Ministry that the proposal is awaiting the approval of the Finance Minister.  Perhaps  this may require the sanction from the cabinet too as that has been the procedure adopted in the earlier occasion.  Since the matter is being unduly delayed for no ostensible reason as the Finance Minister was party to the earlier cabinet decision for raising the ceiling limit to Rs 3500,the Confederation desires that Demonstration/Dharna should be organized in front of all Offices and send the following telegram/Saving gram  to Shri P. Chidambaram, Finance Minister, Govt. of India, North Block, New Delhi- 110 001. The  programme of action may be carried out immediately on receipt of this letter by the Units of all affiliates.   The affiliates are requested to kindly convey the decision to their branches and units so that the programme will have wider participation and create sanction to compel the Govt. to take an expeditious and positive decision in this matter.   We are sending this communication through our e-mail and copy of the same has been  placed in our web-site.  Programme may be carried out as and when the message is received by the State/Divisional/Branches.  Confederation has also sent  SMS to all the National Executive Members.
