Good news for railway employees. A festival bonanza has been announced for them.

The Union Cabinet has approved the payment of Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) equivalent to 78 days’ wages for the financial year 2017-18 for all eligible non-gazetted Railway employees.

Nearly 12 lakh non-gazetted Railway employees are likely to benefit from the decision.

The Productivity Linked Bonus on Railway covers all non-gazetted railway employees, excluding RPF/RPSF personnel who are spread over the entire country.
