State Government Announces Onam Bonuses and Advances for Employees The state government has announced the provision of bonuses and special festival allowances for government employees, including teachers, aided institution staff, pensioners, and others, for the 2025-26 financial year. The disbursement of these benefits will commence from August 17. Employees earning up to the 11th salary revision bracket, which includes a maximum monthly salary of 49,275 rupees, will receive a bonus of 4,500 rupees. Those who do not qualify for the full bonus, such as certain categories of workers, will receive 3,000 rupees. Pensioners receiving service pensions will get 1,250 rupees as a special festival allowance. Additionally, teachers in single-teacher schools, peripheral schools, and other specified categories will receive 1,550 rupees. Employees working under the Employment Exchange will get 1,460 rupees, while anganwadi workers, helpers, and palliative care nurses will receive 1,450 rupees each. A separate advance of 20,000 rupees will be provided to all government employees, ministers, and personal staff as an Onam advance. This amount will be repaid in five equal installments starting from October, deducted from their salaries. Special categories such as part-time contractual workers, NMR, CLR employees, anganwadi workers, and other temporary workers will receive 6,000 rupees as an Onam advance. The bonus is calculated based on salary brackets. Employees earning up to the 10th salary revision bracket, with a maximum monthly salary of 44,462 rupees, will also qualify for the bonus. However, those earning less than a month’s salary or 4,500 rupees will receive the difference as their bonus.#state_government #teachers #anganwadi_workers #government_employees #onam_bonuses
