In a major festive announcement ahead of Diwali, the government has declared a 10% bonus for its employees, spreading cheer among lakhs of workers across the country. This decision comes as part of the government’s annual festive incentive to boost employee morale and stimulate spending during the festive season.
According to official sources, the Diwali bonus will be credited along with the October salary, ensuring that employees can celebrate the festival with extra enthusiasm. For many government staffers, this also means that their take-home salary for the month could nearly double, thanks to the inclusion of the bonus and festive allowances.
The announcement has been welcomed by government employees and trade unions alike, who had been urging the administration to provide additional financial relief amid rising inflation. The move is expected to benefit millions of central and state government employees, including those working in public sector undertakings (PSUs).
Experts believe that this festive bonus will not only uplift the spirits of employees but also boost consumer spending and stimulate the economy during the festive period, particularly in the retail, gold, and automobile sectors.
The government is also reportedly considering additional welfare measures such as advance payments and special festive loans for employees, which could further enhance purchasing power during Diwali.
This timely gesture comes as a symbol of appreciation for employees’ dedication and service, turning this year’s Diwali into a truly joyous celebration for government workers and their families.
