Railway Federations Demand Fair Bonus and Pay Commission Action

Prominent railway federations in India are demanding an increase in the productivity-linked bonus for employees before Dussehra. They also call for the issuance of a gazette notification for the eighth pay commission. Demonstrations are planned in protest of the government's delay in addressing these demands.

Railway federations across India have called for an urgent increase in the productivity-linked bonus for employees ahead of the Dussehra festival.

The All India Railwaymen's Federation (AIRF) and Indian Railways Employee Federation (IREF) have expressed dissatisfaction over the non-issuance of a gazette notification for the eighth pay commission, despite its approval over six months ago.

Demonstrations are set for September 19, as central government employees voice their frustration over long-standing grievances regarding salary and bonus alignment.
