Friday, 11 October 2019 | PNS | Lucknow

There is good news for state government employees as they are likely to get bonus as well as additional dearness allowance before Diwali this year. The non-gazetted employees will get bonus while other employees and pensioners will get additional DA.
There are around 18 lakh state employees out of which around 14 lakh are non-gazetted employees. The employees are likely to get 5 per cent additional DA.
In 2018 too, the state government had given bonus and additional DA before the Diwali festival to the state employees.
Official sources said here on Thursday said that  the Finance department has made a proposal for giving bonus and additional DA to the state employees. An announcement in this regard is expected by next week.
As per the proposal, non-gazetted employees will get bonus for 30 days this year, estimated to be around Rs 7,000. Last year, they had received Rs 6,908 as bonus.
Employees, whose grade pay is less than Rs 5,400 will be eligible for bonus. Employees of local bodies, panchayats and even daily wage workers will be eligible of bonus.
While 75 per cent of the bonus will be deposited in the Provident Fund account of the employees and rest 25 per cent will be paid in cash before Diwali.
The proposed additional DA and bonus will put an additional burden of Rs 968 crore on the exchequer.
The government is also likely to announce additional DA of 5 per cent, to be paid from July, 2019. While the arrears will be deposited in the PF account of the employees, the additional DA will be paid to the employees from November salary which they will receive in December, 2019.
