Govt’s Latest Incentive for All Employees Reveal Its Desire for Boosting Economy, More Maybe in Offing

Sources say just ahead of Diwali, more such sops and incentives may be coming. The government may ask the private sector to ensure that employees are given bonus or salaries that may have been cut during lockdown are restored.

This means people would not be worried about expenditure and would open up their wallets. Sources say the government has also advised against big layoffs as this would put the fear in the minds of people.

With more opening up under the Centre’s ‘unlock’ plans and green shoots emerging, the government hopes that the Diwali would mean cheer and the diyas would continue to burn even after Diwali is over .
