Bonus Ceiling Issue New Developments

No.NC/JCM/2015                                            Dated: October 9, 2015

All Constituent Organizations of

National Council(JCM)(Staff Side)

Dear Comrades,

Sub: Enhancement of the ceiling of bonus

Ministry of Labour(Government of India) has sent a proposal to the Cabinet for enhancement of ceiling of bonus from Rs.3500 to Rs.7000 with a cap of maximum payment of Rs.20,000.

Though the Election Commissioner has cleared it, but it has not been included in the Cabinet Agenda for the reasons best known to government, but we are hopeful that, it may be finalized after Bihar elections.

With fraternal greetings!

Secretary NJCM

National Postal Week Begins Today.

India Post will begin National Postal Week celebrations from today to create awareness about the role of postal sector in the lives of people and business and its contribution to social and economic development. The celebrations, which will conclude on October 15, are also aimed at generating a broader awareness about India Post's role and activities among the public and media at national level.f

"As part of National Postal Week, the Department of Posts is celebrating Savings Bank Day, Mail Day, Philately Day, Business Development Day and Postal Life Insurance Day to focus on various services provided by the department," Chief Post Master General of Maharashtra and Goa Circle Shri Ashok Kumar Dash said on the eve of the event. He said the department is well aware of the changing needs of the customers and has introduced services like speed post, express/business parcel, business post, e-post, money remittance services etc.
"To utilise the full strength of vast network of post offices, we are pushing hard to tap e-commerce market and have set up parcel facility at Parel in Mumbai by having commercial tie-ups with dozens of e-commerce companies," said Mr Dash. In-tune with the emerging e-commerce market, the parcel product has been revamped and Cash on Delivery (CoD) facility too has been introduced, he said.
The World Post Day is being celebrated today to commemorate the establishment of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in 1874 in the Swiss capital Berne. It was declared as World Post Day by the UPU Congress held in Tokyo in 1969 and since then, it is celebrated all over the world to highlight the importance of the postal services.
"We would celebrate Savings Bank Day tomorrow, Mail Day on October 12, Philately Day on October 13, Postal Life Insurance Day on October 14 and Business Development Day on October 15," Mr Dash added.

NOTHING NEW IS COMING UP WITH THE BONUS CEILING ISSUE

THE TODAY'S CABINET MEETING ONLY GAVE APPROVAL FOR GRANT OF PRODUCTIVITY LINKED BONUS TO RAILWAY EMPLOYEES @ 78 DAYS. BUT NOTHING WAS HEARD IN CONNECTION WITH THE BONUS CEILING ISSUE.

Hon.Shri Bandaru Dattatreya, the Minister of State(IC) for Labour and Employment in a press conference on 01.09.2015 has elaborated the initiatives and continuing efforts of the Government to address the issues and concerns of the Trade Unions for the welfare of workers, the Minister said that of the twelve demands of Trade Unions, the Government is positively working on at least nine demands. Hon. Shri Dattatreya had said that for the purpose of bonus, the wage eligibility limit and calculation ceiling would be appropriately revised. It is proposed to revise the wage eligibility limit from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 21,000 and calculation ceiling from Rs. 3500 to Rs. 7,000 or the minimum wage notified by the appropriate Government for that category of employment, whichever is higher. With the proposed revision of the minimum wages, the average calculation ceiling would be about Rs.10,000. But it was surprising to note that today's Cabinet Meeting did not come up with any such issue addressing the major concern of the workers nation wide especially on the eve of forth coming festivals such as Durga Puja, Dussera & Diwali.  

The last revision of Bonus Ceiling was carried out in the year 2008 i.e. shortly after the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission. Hence a question remain is the Government waiting for implementation of Seventh Pay Commission and then come up with the revision of Bonus Ceiling. Wait and watch. But the nation wide workers were hoping for a happy news on the bonus issue from the Government to cheer with their families on the festival eve. Since Bonus with a ceiling that too as low as Rs.3500/- doesn't meet the festival requirements of ordinary workers.
