2. It has also been decided that SSE/SE[s] in PB-2 grade Pay Rs.4600 supervising the work of staff working on the shop floor will get monthly payment of incentive bonus calculated at flat rate of 15% of their basic pay.
3. Payment of incentive to Junior Engineers, essentially indirect workers and supervisors at the revised rates indicated above shall continue to be governed by the conditions laid down in Railway Board’s letter No. PC-IV/88/Incentive Bonus/1 dated 6.10.89.
4. The rates for PCO allowance have already been advised vide Board’s letter No. E[P&A]I/2008/SP-I/WS-4 dated 06.2.09 and 23.04.09.
5. Kindly note that bonus factor earlier calculated by multiplication of minimum of basic pay with 1.3 has been replaced with a revised total value [at 100%] as indicated above. No multiplication with any factor is to be done with this value.
6. The revision of hourly rates of incentive bonus and bonus factor of workshops and PUs is linked with 5% improvement in productivity in the workshops/PUs. Therefore, necessary adjustments in the total allowed time for each job in the workshops will have to be calculated accordingly in case of CRJ pattern incentive scheme in workshops/PUs. Similarly, for workshops/PUs under GIS, the productivity is to be increased by 5% without additional payment. The work of revision of allowed time in workshops/PUs should be taken in hand and should be completed by 30.11.09.
7. It has been decided to effect 5% improvement in productivity on a prospective basis i.e. w.e.f. 1.12.09.
8. The revised rates as indicated in the table will be effective from 1.6.09.
9. Other guidelines not covered in this letter for payment of incentive to staff under CRJ/GIS pattern incentive schemes shall continue to be in force.
This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.
