| The
Union Cabinet today approved the proposal of the Department of Posts to
enhance the ceiling for calculation of ex-gratia bonus payable to
Gramin Dak Sevaks from Rs. 2,500/- to Rs.3,500/- same as that prescribed
for the regular departmental employees. The decision would be
applicable with prospective effect that is from the accounting year
2012-13 payable in 2013-14. The increase in bonus calculation ceiling will restore the long established parity between regular departmental employees and Gramin Dak Sevaks on the issue of payment of bonus. This decision will benefit 2.63 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks working in the Department of Posts, who play a very vital role in providing postal, financial and insurance services in the rural, hilly and tribal areas of the country.
