The long-awaited Diwali Bonus for GDS and Postal Employees 2025 has reached its final stage. According to the latest update, all formalities and clearances have been completed and the proposal is now pending with the Department of Expenditure (DoE) for final approval.

Expected Timeline: Once the DoE grants its approval, the official order is likely to be released within the next 1–2 days.

What’s the Latest Status?

Sources confirm that the proposal for the 2025 Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) for Postal and GDS staff has already been cleared by all necessary administrative sections, including the Department of Posts and the Ministry of Communications. It is now awaiting the final green signal from the Department of Expenditure, which is the last step before the official release.

What GDS and Postal Employees Can Expect

• Bonus for 60 days is expected, similar to previous years.
• The official order may be issued before or during the festive week.
• All eligible Postal and GDS employees will receive the amount directly in their salary or bank account once the order is released.

Why the Delay?

The delay this year was mainly due to procedural review and internal file movement between the Department of Posts and the Department of Expenditure. However, as all stages are now cleared, only the final approval remains.

Official Order Expected Soon

Given that the Diwali festival is just around the corner, the order is likely to be issued at the earliest to ensure timely disbursement. Postal employees and GDS across the country can expect an official notification from the Department of Posts within the next 1–2 days.
