This allowance is granted in Department of Posts and is payable to postmen and other departmental staff who are required to perform duty on second holiday if three consecutive holidays occur. The existing rates are:
Category Rate of Remuneration
Supervisor Rs.85 per holiday for 4 hours
Postal Assistant Rs.85 per holiday for 4 hours
Postmen/Sorting Postmen Rs.85 per holiday
Multi-tasking staff Rs.60 per holiday for 4 hours
Demands have been received to increase the rate of this allowance to Rs.600 per holiday.
Analysis and Recommendations
Since the allowance is not DA indexed, it is proposed to raise the amount to Rs.200 per
holiday for Supervisors, Postal Assistants and Postmen/Sorting Postmen; and Rs.150 per
holiday for Multi-tasking Staff. The rate of allowance will further increase by 25 percent
each time DA increases by 50 percent.
