The Productivity Linked Bonus approved for railway employees is equal to how many days' wages?

The correct answer is 78 days. The Union Cabinet cleared a Productivity Linked Bonus equal to 78 days' wages for railway employees, and this is the figure every other number in the decision hangs on: the total sanctioned amount, the per-employee ceiling and the count of employees covered are all tied to the same 78 days. Options A, B and D are not the approved period and are placed here because candidates tend to remember a round number instead of the exact one. Keep three more details with this: the payout is limited to non-gazetted employees, it is made every year before the Durga Puja and Dussehra break, and the government treats it as an incentive to improve the performance of the railways rather than a routine allowance. The categories receiving it include track maintainers, loco pilots, train managers who were earlier called guards, station masters, technicians, pointsmen and other Group C staff.
