New Delhi: Following its mantra of maximum governance and minimum government, Prime Minister Narendra Modimay implement performance-based incentives schemes for central government employees.
The Department of Personnel and
Training (DoPT) is slated to give a detailed presentation on
Performance-Related Incentive Scheme (PRIS), which was recommended by
Sixth Pay Commission and accepted by the UPA government, to the prime
minister soon, officials said. PRIS could not be implemented by the UPA
government which had given its “in-principle” approval.
DoPT is likely to outline the salient features of the scheme aimed at improving governance in its presentation to Modi. “The detailed guidelines will be put in place after prime minister gives his go-ahead to it,” a senior DoPT official said.
As per the draft guidelines framed during UPA’s tenure, performance-related incentive will bepayable taking into account the performance of the organisation and employees during the period under consideration. There are about 50 lakh central government employees.
“PRIS may prove to be a big game changer
for improving governance and delivering maximum output. The prime
minister may incorporate some new features,” the official said.
