The Diwali bonus was reinstated by the Modi governance on Tuesday for its group C, group D, and some group B employee categories. According to a record from the Finance Ministry’s Department of Expenditure, bonuses will be given to Group C, Group D, and contractual personnel this year if they meet specific service requirements.
According to these regulations, a diwali bonus can only be paid up to Rs 7,000 every month of income. The central paramilitary and armed forces’ qualifying staff will also be eligible for the a reward. According to reports, the Centre would probably make the announcement on the DA/DR increment for Central Employees and Pensioners before Diwali.
Employees who were working as of March 31, 2021, and who had at least six months of continuous employment during the fiscal year 2020–2021 would be qualified for this ad hoc bonus, per the rule. For 2022–2023, the Finance Ministry has also set a limit of Rs 7,000 for the calculation of non–productivity linked bonuses (ad hoc bonuses) for central government employees.
The Finance Ministry’s Department of Expenditure announced earlier today that all non-gazetted employees in Group B and all central government employees in Group C, who are not covered by any productivity-linked bonus schemes, have each been given a non-productivity linked bonus (ad hoc bonus) equivalent to 30 days’ worth of pay for the accounting year 2022–2023 so far.
