Respected Sir,
Sub: Payment of Bonus to workers - removal of eligibility and calculation ceiling - reg
Vide Press information bureau dated 1st September 2015, the Government
of India (Ministry of Labour & Employment) has announced that the
Government has been seriously considering amendment in the wage
eligibility for payment of Bonus to the employees from Rs.10000 to
Rs.21000 and equally for revising the calculation ceiling from Rs.3500
to Rs.7000 or the minimum wage notified by the appropriate Government
for that category of employees, whichever is higher. Although more than a
month passed from the date of announcement, the Government is yet to
give decision for upward revision of wage eligibility and calculation
ceiling limits.
2. In this connection, INDWF desires to bring to your kind notice that in the Defence Productivity Linked Bonus Scheme was introduced in the year 1979 by an agreement with the Defence Federations. Pursuant to the said agreement, payment of Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) is made every year (prior to Dussehra festival) by notional calculation of salary at Rs.3500/- per month. INDWF has been pressing the Government since long to remove calculation ceiling for ensuring payment of P L Bonus on actual salary of employees.
3. The employees throughout the country
are anxiously awaiting for Government’s decision as already promised for
revision of wage eligibility and calculation ceiling limits on Bonus. INDWF therefore, requests the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India to kindly intervene and see that the commitment made on September 1, 2015 for revision of wage eligibility and calculation ceiling limits
for payment of Bonus is implemented before commencement of Puja Holidays.With regards,
Yours faithfully,
(R.SRINIVASAN)
