Sub:- Enhancement of calculation of ceiling for PLB/Non-PLB (ad-hoc bonus) in case of Central Govt. employees.
Ref.- i. OM No. 7 / 4 / 2014 – E – III A, dated 29.08.2016 issued by Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance.
ii. F No. 26 - 01 / 2015 – PAP, dated 02.09.2016 issued by Deptt. of Posts
Dear Comrade,
Inviting a kind reference to F No. 26 - 01 / 2015 – PAP, dated 02.09.2016 issued by Deptt. of Posts circulating the OM No. 7 / 4 / 2014 – E – III A, dated 29.08.2016 issued by Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, this is intimate that the Department’s circular has created some sort of ambiguity with respect to drawal of bonus for GDS employees.
Though the Department vide its letter referred to above under at Sl. No. ( ii ) has instructed to refer F No. 26 - 01 / 2015 – PAP, dated 07.10.2015 which contains ex-gratia payment of bonus, Para 2 of the letter dated 02.09.2016 has categorized for calculation of PLB and ad-hoc bonus.
Since there is no specification in the letter dated 02.09.2016 for calculation of ceiling in the enhanced rate towards ex-gratia bonus paid to GDS, the Divisions are in a dilemma whether to draw the same or not. We are in receipt of several telephonic calls for necessary clarification.
As such, now the Divisions are now preparing for calculation / drawal / payment of bonus for / to Departmental employees only leaving the GDS which may dissatisfy and demotivate our GDS staff members.
Therefore, it is requested to appraise the Directorate to issue a clarificatory order in this regard at the earliest for payment of ex-gratia bonus to GDS employees.
Expecting an early response.
With warm greetings for successful conductance of the Federal Executive of NFPE.
Comradely yours,

Govt considering interim relief to avoid criticism that the govt employees have not benefited from the 7th CPC Award
Govt considering interim relief to avoid criticism that the govt employees and pensioners have not benefited from the 7th CPC Award: Times of India Report
The two panels set up by the government to review pensions and allowances are expected to announce interim relief and help blunt the criticism that the government employees and pensioners have not benefited from the 7th pay commission recommendations.
"They are expected to announce some interim award. The government will consider them," a senior government official, who did not wish to be identified, told TOI .
This should come as a relief to thousands of government employees and pensioners who have slammed the commission's recommendations saying the increase was paltry. Government employees and pensioners say the increase in pay and pension is limited and some employee associations have taken up the issue with the government.
After taking into account dearness allowances at the prevailing rate, the salary and pension of all government employees, including pensioners, was raised by at least 14.3% as on January 1, 2016 and up to 23% in upper brackets. While assuring employees and pensioners, officials say there is a limit to which salaries and pensions of government employees can be raised.
In June, the cabinet approved the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission and decided that arrears of pay and pension benefits will be paid during the current financial year (2016-17) itself. The recommendations have benefited over 1 crore employees, including over 47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners, of which 14 lakh employees and 18 lakh pensioners are from the defence forces.
But the government had set up two panels to examine the Pay Commission's recommendations with regards to pensions and allowances and they were given four months' time to submit their reports.
The government has implemented one of the two options suggested by the pay commission on pensions and has allowed all the allowances to be paid at their existing rates until the panel submits its recommendations.
