8th Pay Commission: Central Employees Demand Higher Bonus, PF, Gratuity Limits
- •Central government employees are demanding significant revisions to bonus, PF, and gratuity limits under the 8th Pay Commission, citing outdated caps.
- •The Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers has submitted demands to the Cabinet Secretary, highlighting that current rules do not align with today's salaries and inflation.
- •Key demands include removing the ₹15,000 basic pay limit for PF contributions and increasing the gratuity cap from ₹20 lakh to ₹30-40 lakh or removing it entirely.
- •Employees argue that existing limits, set years ago, prevent full benefits, especially for high-salaried individuals and those with long service.
- •If implemented, these changes would significantly boost retirement funds, gratuity payouts, and annual cash flow, enhancing the financial value of government jobs.
Why It Matters: Central government employees are pushing for higher bonus, PF, and gratuity limits due to inflation and outdated rules.
