In a significant move ahead of Diwali, the Union Cabinet approved a Rs 1,866 crore Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) for railway employees, benefiting over 10.90 lakh staff.
The bonus, equivalent to 78 days of wages, aims to incentivize employees for their contribution to operational efficiency.
Maximum PLB payable is Rs 17,951 per eligible employee. The railway sector performed admirably in 2024-25, recording cargo of 1614.90 million tonnes and transporting nearly 7.3 billion passengers.
Additionally, the upcoming launch of the Vande Bharat Sleeper trains, featuring modern amenities and a top speed of 180 kmph, is anticipated to enhance overnight train services, especially on the New Delhi-Patna route.
These developments come as the government aims to facilitate improved train services with election season approaching in Bihar.
