| Night Duty Allowance |
Night Duty Allowance is granted to eligible employees as weightage for work done during night:
- Night Duty will be defined as duty performed between 22:00 hours and 6:00 hours.
- A uniform weightage of 10 minutes shall be given for every hour of night duty performed.
- With effect from 1-7-2017, the ceiling of basic pay for entitlement of Night Duty Allowance shall be Rs. 43,600 per month.
- The hourly rate of NDA equal to [(BP+DA)/200] will be paid and the basic pay and DA for the calculation of NDA rates shall be the basic pay and DA prevalent as per the 7th CPC.
- This formulation will extend to all employees across all Ministries/Departments who were already in receipt of NDA.
- Wherever the working hours have been arrived at after taking into account the night weightage factor, no further compensation may be admissible.
- The amount of NDA will be worked out separately for each employee depending upon the basic pay the concerned employee is drawing on the date of performing the night duty. The existing practice for giving same rate of NDA to all employees with a particular Grade Pay has been discontinued.
- A certificate should be given by the supervisor concerned that Night Duty is essential. - OM, dated 13-7-2020.
