New Delhi [India], October 29 (Desk): In a major gift ahead of Diwali, the Aam Aadmi Party-ruled Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Tuesday announced the Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (NPLB) for its employees.
In keeping with the commitment to recognize the contributions of the workforce, the AAP Government has released funds totalling Rs. 60.51 crore to ensure that eligible employees receive their bonus in a timely and efficient manner.
Announcing the decision, Mayor Shelly Oberoi said, “As per the vision of Arvind Kejriwal, we are committed to supporting MCD employees and ensuring their hard work is acknowledged. This Diwali bonus is a gesture of our gratitude for their dedication and service to the citizens of Delhi.”
The Diwali bonus for the fiscal year 2023-24 is open to all Group C employees and Group B non-gazetted employees, with eligibility extended to regular employees who have completed a minimum qualifying service of six months.
Eligible employees are entitled to a bonus of Rs. 6,908 on a pro-rata basis. Additionally, daily wage employees who have worked for at least 240 days across the last three financial years are eligible for a bonus of Rs 1,108.
To ensure seamless distribution, MCD has introduced a customised bonus disbursal application designed to streamline the process. This application directly credits the bonus amount to employees’ bank accounts, reducing delays and minimising the need for manual intervention by the Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO).
For instances where the Bonus Application can not be utilised, physical bills will be prepared by the DDO, who will then facilitate the disbursement. (Desk)
