The Gujarat state government announced that staff of the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation will receive an advance payment equivalent to half a month's salary as a Diwali goodwill gesture.
Gujarat's state administration has approved an advance salary scheme for employees of the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) as part of its Diwali celebrations. Each staff member will be credited with an amount equal to half a month's wages, payable before the festival. The decision was communicated through an official circular issued by the transport department.
The move is intended to provide financial relief to GSRTC workers during the festive season and to boost morale across the organization. Officials said the advance will be reflected in the upcoming payroll cycle and will not affect regular salary disbursements.
State officials highlighted that such gestures are part of a broader effort to recognize the contributions of public‑sector employees and to ensure a joyous Diwali for their families.
No additional financial incentives or policy changes were announced alongside the salary advance. The transport department will monitor the implementation and report any feedback from the staff.
The announcement comes as Gujarat continues to observe Diwali with various cultural programs and public events across the state.
