Around 11.56 lakh eligible non-gazetted railway employees will get a productivity-linked bonus equivalent to 78 days’ wage ahead of the festival season, Union Minister Anurag Thakur today said after the meeting of the Union Cabinet.

The minister said a decision in this regard for financial year 2020-2021 was taken at a meeting of the Union Cabinet. An expenditure of nearly Rs 1,985 crore would be incurred on this, he added.

The wage calculation ceiling prescribed for payment of PLB to the eligible non-gazetted railway employees is Rs 7,000 per month and the maximum amount payable per eligible railway employee is Rs 17,951 for 78 days. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
