How to get bonus?
Because state employees will get more dearness allowance, their salaries will go up from Rs 1,000 to Rs 10,000.
Over 15 lakh state employees and more than 8 lakh retired employees will gain from this increase in dearness allowance.
Each employee will receive a bonus of Rs 6,908. Out of this, 75 percent, which is a portion of Rs 6,908, will be added to their Employees Provident Fund (GPF) account, while the remaining 25 percent, which is Rs 1,727, will be given as cash.
Employees who aren’t part of GPF will receive their bonus in the form of National Savings Certificates.
Uttar Pradesh’s Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that all state employees, along with those from educational and technical institutions, urban bodies, UGC employees, work-charged employees, and retirees who contribute to the state’s progress, will receive a 46 percent increase in their basic salary as an allowance.
Additionally, they’ve decided to give a bonus equal to 30 days’ pay (with a maximum limit of Rs 7,000) to all state employees who are not in high-ranking positions, work-charged employees, teachers, non-teaching staff, and daily wage workers.
