OFFICE 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.3500×30/30.4 = 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.1200×30/30.4 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.
5. In so far as the persons serving in the Indian Audit and
Accounts Department are concerned, these orders are issued in consultation with
the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
