As the Dussehra festival approaches, discussions have gained momentum on increasing the Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) for Group-B and Group-C employees of the central government. The employee unions are demanding that the ceiling for calculating the bonus be increased from Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 21,000. If this proposal is approved, the employees are likely to get an additional amount of up to Rs. 20,724. An official announcement is likely to be made in the first week of October. However, employees are expressing dissatisfaction over the reduction of days and giving bonuses in some departments.
