New Delhi: Following its mantra of 
maximum governance and minimum government, Prime Minister Narendra 
Modi may implement performance-based incentives schemes for central 
government employees.
The Department of Personnel and Training
 (DoPT) is slated to give a detailed presentation on Performance-Related
 Incentive Scheme (PRIS), which was recommended by Sixth Pay Commission 
and accepted by the UPA government, to the prime minister soon, 
officials said. PRIS could not be implemented by the UPA government 
which had given its “in-principle” approval.
DoPT is likely to outline the salient 
features of the scheme aimed at improving governance in its presentation
 to Modi. “The detailed guidelines will be put in place after prime 
minister gives his go-ahead to it,” a senior DoPT official said.
As per the draft guidelines framed 
during UPA’s tenure, performance-related incentive will be payable 
taking into account the performance of the organisation and employees 
during the period under consideration. There are about 50 lakh central 
government employees.
“PRIS may prove to be a big game changer
 for improving governance and delivering maximum output. The prime 
minister may incorporate some new features,” the official said.
