Apart from above allowances Government Introduced Performance based Incentive Scheme for ISRO i.e some incentives are paid to ISRO employees based on their performance.

1. Organizational Performance Incentive : This Incentive will be decided based on the performance of  ISRO organisation. At present all ISRO employees are getting 20% of BASIC PAY as Organizational Performance Incentive.  which is calculated on month basis and paid twice in year ( paid for every sixth months). To get this incentive employee has to put less leaves. This Incentive will be reviewed for every 5 years and based on the ISRO performance it will be paid or it will be stopped. 


2.  Group Incentives : This incentive will be given to a group of people who have executed some good projects in ISRO (Not yet implemented)

3. Individual Incentives : This incentives will given to the individual person based on his performance. Generally All the technical people ( Scientists. Engineers, Scientific Assistants, Technicians ) will be called for a review for the promotion after 3 to 6 years depending their post and work record. At the time of promotion review, review committee will grant performance based variable  Increments to the employee.

For example Scientist/Engineer "SC" will be called for review to the post of Scientist/Engineer "SD" after 4 years. Interview will be conducted. Based on the performance (Work + Interview) along with promotion extra variable increments will be granted. these variable increments will be 1 to 6 based on the performance

each increment will be a fixed amount around 3% of entry basic.

So a Scientist/Engineer "SC" who did well in interview  ( with respect work and knowledge ) he will be granted extra 6 variable increments along with Scientist/Engineer "SD" Promotion
