Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar has announced a 2.5% Dearness Allowance (DA) increase for RTC employees. This decision was made after discussions with the RTC management.
The increase in DA will cost the RTC Rs 3.6 crore every month. It will be calculated based on the basic salary after the wage revision and added to employees’ salaries.
Since the introduction of the Mahalaxmi scheme, 150 crore women have traveled for free. The number of women passengers using RTC buses has increased by 14 lakh daily.
