Shri Suresh Prabhu,
Hon’ble Minister for Railways.

Respected Sir,

Sub: Paymenl of Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) to the Railway employees at revised calculation of Rs. 7000/- p.m.-reg.

Ref: (i) Item No. 4 of 55 Point Charter of Demands of NFIR.
(ii) NFIR’s letter No. I/10/Part IV dated 08/09/2015 & 07/10/2015 addressed to Hon’ble MR.
(iii) Railway Board’s letter No.E.(P&A)ll-2015PLB-4 dated 07/10/2015.

Kind attention is invited to NFIR’s communication dated 08/09/2015 to the Hon’ble MR to take action for removal of calculation ceiling of Rs. 3500/- p.m. for payment of PLB to the Railway employees in view of Government’s announcement dated 1st September 2015 for relaxing calculation ceiling limit to Rs. 7000/- p.m.

Now the Union Cabinet in its meeting held on October 21, 2015 has decided to amend the Bonus Act, 1965 for enhancing the calculation ceiling from Rs. 3500/- to Rs. 7000/-.

NFIR, therefore, requests to kindly see that Railway employees are paid PLB with revised calculation ceiling of Rs. 7000/- p.m.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

(Dr.M.Ragavaiah)
General Secretary
