MEMORANDUM
Subject: – Grant of
Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (ad-hoc bonus) to Central Government Employees
for the year 2014-15.
The undersigned
is directed to convey the sanction of the President to the grant of
Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (Ad-hoc Bonus) equivalent to 30 days emoluments
for the accounting year 2014-15 to the Central Government employees in Groups
‘C’ and ‘D’ and all non-gazetted employees in Group ‘B’, who are not covered by
any Productivity Linked Bonus Scheme. The calculation ceiling for payment of
ad-hoc Bonus under these orders shall continue to be monthly emoluments of Rs.
3500/-, as hitherto. The payment of ad-hoc Bonus under these orders will also
be admissible to the eligible employees of Central Para Military Forces and
Armed Forces. The orders will be deemed to be extended to the employees of
Union Territory Administration which follow the Central Government pattern of
emoluments and are not covered by any other bonus or ex-gratia scheme.
2. The benefit will be admissible subject to the following terms
and conditions:-
(i) Only those employees who were in service as on 31.3.2015 and
have rendered at least six months of continuous service during the year 2014-15
will be eligible for payment under these orders. Pro-rata payment will be
admissible to the eligible employees for period of continuous service during
the year from six months to a full year, the eligibility period being taken in
terms of number of months of service (rounded off to the nearest number of
months);
(ii) The quantum of Non-PLB (ad-hoc bonus) will be worked out on
the basis of average emoluments/calculation ceiling whichever is lower. To
calculate Non-PLB (Ad-hoc bonus) for one day, the average emoluments in a year
will be divided by 30.4 (average number of days in a month). This will
thereafter be multiplied by the number of days of bonus granted. To illustrate,
taking the calculation ceiling of monthly emoluments of Rs. 3500 (where actual
average emoluments exceed Rs. 3500/-, Non-PLB (Ad-hoc Bonus) for thirty days
would work out to Rs. 3500×30/30.4=Rs.3453.95 (rounded off to Rs.345%)
(iii) The casual labour who have worked in offices following a 6
days week for at least 240 days for each year for 3 years or more (206 days in
each year for 3 years or more in the case of offices observing 5 days week),
will be eligible for this Non-PLB (Ad-hoc Bonus) Payment. The amount of Non-PLB
(ad-hoc bonus) payable will be (Rs.12oox30/30.4 i.e.Rs.1184.21 (rounded off to
Rs.1184/). In cases where the actual emoluments fall below Rs.1200/- pm, the
amount will be calculated on actual monthly emoluments.
(iv) All payments under these orders will be rounded off to the
nearest rupee.
(v) The clarificatory orders issued vide this Ministry’s OM
No.F.14 (10)-E. Coord/88 dated 4.10.1988, as amended from time to time, would
hold good.
3. The expenditure on this account will be debitable to the respective
Heads to which the pay and allowances of these employees are debited.
4. The expenditure to be incurred on account of Non-PLB (Ad-hoc
Bonus) is to be met from within the sanctioned budget provision of concerned
Ministries/Departments for the current year.
5. In so far as the persons serving in the Indian Audit and
Accounts Department are concerned, these orders are issued in consultation with
the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
