Enhancement of PLB (Productivity Linked Bonus)/Ad-hoc Bonus to CG Employees | Government Employees National Federation (GENF-BMS) Letter to Finance Minister dated 25.09.2021

 Payment of Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) for 2019-2020-2021

Central Government employees are paid the Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) prior to the festive season of Dussehra every year.

I would like to draw your kind attention towards the ceiling of monthly emoluments for calculation of PLB/Ad-hoc Bonus. GENC has been demanding for enhancing this ceiling.

The Ministry of Finance vide it's OM No. 7/4/2014-E-IIIA dated 29.08.2016, issued orders for enhancing the ceiling of monthly emoluments from Rs.3500/- to Rs.7000/- for calculation of PLB/Ad-hoc Bonus w.e.f the financial year 2014-15. 

In this regard, I would like to draw your kind attention towards the Secretary to Govt. of India/Ministry of Labour & Employment's DO No.51040/4/2015-IR(PG) dated 28th August, 2015, addressed to the General Secretary/BMS (copy enclosed), whereby it was stated that ... The Government is considering to revised calculation ceiling from the present level of Rs.3,500/- per month to Rs.7.000/- or the minimum wages for the scheduled employment as fixed by the appropriate Government, whichever is higher". 

As per latest guidelines issued by the Ministry of Labour & Employment, the Minimum Wage for a Skilled worker is Rs.20,384/- (in 'A' Area). Also, after implementation of 7th Central Pay Commission, the minimum basic pay of a Central Government Employee is Rs.18,000/-. Under these circumstances, the monthly ceiling of Rs.7,000/- for calculation of PLB/Ad-hoc Bonus, is not justified at all and hence needs to be enhanced.

Hence, in view of above, I request you to consider revising the calculation ceiling of monthly emolument from Rs.7000/- to the minimum wages, in consultation with the Ministry of Labour & Employment, as per assurance made vide it's Do letter dated 28 August 2020.
