What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Railway Board issued a warning against circulating letters that claim approval for a 78-day bonus. The Union Cabinet is expected to consider a proposal for a productivity-linked bonus for railway employees on October 14, 2026, though no payout has been approved. The existing maximum bonus for eligible non-gazetted railway employees is ₹17,951, calculated based on a wage ceiling of ₹7,000.
