NEW DELHI: The
Cabinet is likely to approve
bonus of 78-day wages for
railway employees this year on Wednesday. The railway board has proposed this as productivity-linked bonus for its employees for 2017-18, which would benefit about 12.2 lakh personnel. Sources said the bonus would be around Rs 18,000 per employee.
The bonus is significant as five states are going for polls and the announcement comes just before the festive season. Sources said that the
Railway Protection Force and Railway Protection Special Force won’t get this benefit.
