Subject:- Grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (ad-hoc bonus) to Central Government Employees for the year 2023-24.
The undersigned is directed to convey the sanction of the President to grant
of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (Ad-hoc Bonus) equivalent to 30 days
emoluments for the accounting year 2023-24 to the Central Government
employees in Group 'C' and all non-gazetted employees in Group 'B', who are not
covered by any Productivity Linked Bonus Scheme. The calculation ceiling for
payment of ad-hoc Bonus under these orders shall be monthly emoluments of
Rs.7000/-. The payment of ad-hoc Bonus under these orders will also be
admissible to the eligible employees of Central Para Military Forces and Armed
Forces. The orders will deemed to be extended to the employees of Union Territory
Administration which follow the Central Government pattern of emoluments and
are not covered by any other bonus or ex-gratia scheme.

for payment under these orders. Pro-rata payment will be admissible to the

months to a full year, the eligibility period being taken in terms of number of
months of service (rounded off to the nearest number of months);

the number of days of bonus granted. To illustrate, taking the calculation ceiling
of monthly emoluments of Rs. 7000/- (where actual average emoluments exceed
Rs. 7000/-), Non-PLB (Ad-hoc Bonus) for thirty days would work out to Rs.
7000x30/30.4-Rs.6907.89/- (rounded off to Rs.6908/-).
(iii) The casual labour who have worked in offices following a 6 days week for at

or more in the case of offices observing 5 day week), will be eligible for this Non-
PLB (Ad-hoc Bonus) Payment. The amount of Non-PLB (ad-hoc bonus) payable will

the actual emoluments fall below Rs. 1200/- p.m., the amount will be calculated
on actual monthly emoluments.
(iv) All payments under these orders will be rounded off to the nearest rupee.
