New Delhi. Before Diwali, a relief news has emerged for the postal department employees. For the financial year 2025-26, the department has approved giving 60 days of Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) to eligible employees. Along with regular employees, this decision will also benefit Gramin Dak Sevaks and some casual laborers who fulfill the prescribed conditions.
Which employees will get bonus?
The scope of this announcement of the Postal Department includes eligible employees of Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS), Group C and Non-Gazetted Group B. Apart from this, Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) will be given ex-gratia bonus as per rules and ad-hoc bonus to eligible casual labourers.
How will the bonus be calculated?
The amount of bonus will be decided on the basis of eligible average monthly salary of the employee and the number of bonus days. The maximum monthly salary for this will be considered to be ₹ 7,000.
