The President is pleased to decide that all Group ‘C’ RPF/RPSF personnel, may be granted ad-hoc bonus equivalent to 30 (thirty) days emoluments for the financial year 2024-25, without any wage eligibility ceiling. The calculation ceiling for payment of ad-hoc Bonus under these orders shall be monthly emoluments of ₹ 7000/-, as revised w.e.f 01.04.2014 vide Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure)’s OM No. 7/4/2014/E.III(A), dated 29th August, 2016.
2. The benefit will be admissible subject to the following terms and conditions: –
(a) Only those Group ‘C’ RPF/RPSF personnel who were in service on 31.03.2025 and have rendered at least six months of continuous service during the year 2024-25 will be eligible for payment under these orders. Pro-rata payment will be admissible to the eligible personnel for period of continuous service during the year from six months to a full year, the eligibility period being taken in terms of number of months of service (rounded off to the nearest number of months).
(b) The quantum of Non-PLB (ad-hoc bonus) will be worked out on the basis of average emoluments/calculation ceiling whichever is lower. To calculate Non-PLB (ad-hoc bonus) for one day, the average emoluments in a month will be divided by 30.4 (average number of days in a month). This will, thereafter, be multiplied by the number of days of bonus granted. To illustrate, taking the calculation ceiling of mow- (where actual average emoluments exceed moo), Non-PLB (ad-hoc bonus) for thirty days would work out to ₹ 7000x 30/30.4 = ₹ 6907.89 (rounded off to ₹ 6908/-)
(c) All payments under these orders will be rounded off to the nearest rupee.
