Subject :
Grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (ad-hoc bonus) to Central Government Employees for the year 2012-13.The
undersigned is directed to convey the sanction of the President to the
grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (Ad-hoc Bonus) equivalent to 30
days emoluments for the accounting year 2012-13 to the Central
Government employees in Groups 'C’ and 'D’ and all non-gazetted
employees in Group 'B' who are not covered by any Productivity Linked
Bonus Scheme. The calculation ceiling for payment of ad-hoc Bonus under
these orders shall continue to be monthly emoluments of Rs. 3500/-, as
hitherto. The payment of ad-hoc Bonus under these orders will also be
admissible to the eligible employees of Central Para Military Forces and
Armed Forces. The orders will be deemed to be extended to the employees
of Union Territory Administration which follow the Central Government
pattern of emoluments and are not covered by any other bonus or
ex-gratia scheme.

divided by 30.4 (average number of days in a month). This will
thereafter be multiplied by the number of days of bonus granted. To
illustrate, taking the calculation ceiling of monthly emoluments of Rs,
3500 (where actual average emoluments exceed Rs. 3500), Non-PLB (Ad-hoc
Bonus) for thirty days would work out to Rs.3500x30/30.4 = Rs.3453.95
(rounded offto Rs.3454/-).
