The Kerala government announces a bonus of ₹4,500 for government employees and teachers ahead of Onam. It also sets out a special festival allowance for those who are not entitled to the bonus.
According to reports, employees who do not receive the ₹4,500 bonus are eligible for ₹3,000 as a special festival allowance. The announcement is framed as part of the government’s measures for the festival season, targeting both employees and teachers.
Both outlets describe the same amounts and eligibility structure—₹4,500 for those entitled to the bonus and ₹3,000 for others—without introducing major differences in the core details. The coverage focuses on the financial benefits announced by the state government rather than broader policy or budget implications.
