Railways likely to declare 78-day bonus

   Despite financial constraint, Railways is likely to announce 78-day wages as bonus, same as last year, for its employees for 2012-13.

   "The proposal for declaring 78-day productivity-linked bonus for railway employees is being finalised with railway unions and it will go to the Cabinet for a final decision," a senior Railway Ministry official said.

   Productivity-linked bonus is paid to railway employees each year before the Dussehra festival.

   Over 12.60 lakh non-gazetted railway employees will benefit from the Cabinet decision on the bonus.

   "We have demanded more than 78-day bonus for this year as Railways had given the 78-day bonus to its employees last year also. But, Railway proposed 73 day bonus citing financial difficulty," an office-bearer of the National Federation of Indian Railwaymen told PTI.
