Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced the Diwali bonus of INR 26,000 to the employees of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) this year.
In this regard, a meeting of the representatives of all the workers and employees unions of the municipal corporations was held at Varsha residence. Soon after the meeting, the CM Shinde announced this decision. However, this has brought big relief to the BMC employees.
Earlier in the day, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray had criticised the government over delay in announcing the bonus.
"Is the government that runs the BMC directly from the CMO in the absence of elected officials going to give Diwali bonus or not? If yes when? After the Diwali is over?" Thackeray had asked earlier.
Additionally, Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has announced to give welfare subsidy to its employees. Diwali Bonus has been increased by 20 per cent this year compared to last year. In 2022, a bonus of INR 18,000 was awarded to the staff. This year, a bonus of INR 21,500 has been announced.
Meanwhile, Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC) has announced a bonus of INR 18,500 to its employees. There has been an increase in the grace grant this year as compared to last year, which was amounted at INR 16,500.
