The Union Cabinet today approved the
proposal of the Department of Posts to enhance the ceiling for calculation of
ex-gratia bonus payable to Gramin Dak Sevaks from Rs. 2,500/- to Rs.3,500/-
same as that prescribed for the regular departmental employees. The decision
would be applicable with prospective effect that is from the accounting year
2012-13 payable in 2013-14.
The increase in bonus calculation ceiling
will restore the long established parity between regular departmental employees
and Gramin Dak Sevaks on the issue of payment of bonus. This decision will
benefit 2.63 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks working in the Department of Posts, who
play a very vital role in providing postal, financial and insurance services in
the rural, hilly and tribal areas of the country.
