RBE No.140/2015

No.E(P&A)II-2015/Bonus-1

New Delhi, Dated 02/11/2015

The General Managers/CAOs (R),

All Indian Railways & Production Units,

(As per mailing list)

Subject: Grant of ad-hoc bonus for 30 days to the Group ‘C’ & `D’ RPF/RPSF personnel for the financial year 2014-2015

The President is pleased to decide that all Group ‘C’ & ‘D’ RPF/RPSF personnel, may be granted ad-hoc bonus equivalent to 30 (thirty) days emoluments for the financial year 2014-2015, without any eligibility wage ceiling. The calculation ceiling of Rs.3500/- will remain unchanged.

2. The benefit will be admissible subject to the following terms and conditions:-

a) Only those Group ‘C’ & ‘D’ RPF/RPSF personnel who were in service on 31.3.2015 and have rendered at least six months of continuous service during the year 2014-2015 will be eligible for payment under these orders. Pro-rata payment will be admissible to the eligible personnel for period of continuous service during the year ranging from six months to a full year, the eligibility period being taken in terms of number of months of service (rounded to the nearest number of months).

b) The quantum of ad-hoc bonus will be worked out on the basis of average emoluments/calculation ceiling whichever is lower. To calculate ad-hoc bonus for one day, the average emoluments in a year will be divided by 30.4 (average number of days in a month). This will thereafter be multiplied by the number of days of bonus granted. To illustrate, taking the calculation ceiling of Rs.3500/-(where actual average emoluments exceed Rs.3500), ad-hoc bonus for thirty days would work out to Rs.3500×30/30.4 = Rs.3453.95 (rounded off to Rs.3454/).

c) All payments under these orders will be rounded off to the nearest rupee.

d) In the matter where the aforesaid provisions are silent, clarificatory orders issued vide this Ministry’s letter No.E(P&A)II-88/Bonus-3 dated 29.12.1988, as amended from time to time, would hold good.

e) All the Group ‘C’ & ‘D’ RPF/RPSF personnel, regardless of whether they are in uniform or out of uniform and regardless of place of their posting, shall be eligible only for ad-hoc bonus in terms of these orders.

3. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

Finance Minister, Shri Arun Jaitely reviews prices of essential commodities

Finance Minister reviews prices of essential commodities

Finance Minister, Shri Arun Jaitely chaired a high level meeting here today to review the prices of essential commodities ahead of the festive season. The meeting was attended by the Urban Development Minister Shri Venkaiah Naidu, Minister of State for Agriculture Shri Sanjeev Balyan, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Secretary besides Secretaries of the Departments of Agriculture, Food, Consumer Affairs, Revenue and Commerce.

The meeting noted that following the sustained de-hoarding operations undertaken, the wholesale as well as retail prices of pulses have moderated in the last two weeks. On an average prices, across the country have declined by about Rs 20 per kg. With the ongoing market arrivals of Urad dal and arrival of the new crop of Arhar dal expected in early December, the prices would ease further. The supply situation would be further augmented when the lakh and thirty thousand tons of pulses seized in the States come back into the retail market.

The Cabinet Secretary also held a video conference later in the day with the Chief Secretaries of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh to review the progress of disposal of pulses seized in the de-hoarding operations. States have been directed to complete the disposal process and ensure availability of pulses in the retail market early.

The Finance Minister emphasized the importance of ensuring adequate availability of essential commodities and taking proactive steps to hold the price line at reasonable levels. Shri Arun Jaitely directed the Secretaries of the Departments of Agriculture, Food and Consumer Affairs to remain vigilant, work closely with the States and take immediate measures, including stepping up procurement of pulses, enhancing and building up of buffer stocks.

Finance Minister urged all the related departments to ensure that the common citizen has access to adequate supplies of essential commodities in the ensuing months, especially during the festive season.
