MEMORANDUM
Subject : Grant of Non-Productivity Linked
Bonus (ad-hoc bonus) to Central Government Employees for the year 2012-13.
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 2012-13 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 31.3.2013 and have rendered at least six months of continuous
service during the year 2012-13 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.3500x30/30.4 = Rs.3453.95 (rounded
offto Rs.3454/-).
(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.1200x30/30.4
i.e.Rs.1184.21(rounded off to Rs,1184/-). In cases where the actual emoluments
fall below Rs.1200/- p.m., 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 incurred on account of
Non-PLB (Ad-hoc Bonus) is to be met from within the sanctioned budge provision
of concerned Ministries/Departments for the current year.
