Apparently, there is no performance bonus to be expected during the 1 year contract. Anyone can validate this?

Is the contract renewable? If its only for a year, there may be gratuity bonus, if its renewable some stat boards have pb some dont. Which stat board is that?

I heard that those who get promoted will get an increment which comprises two components: annual merit Increment + promo increment.

I'm at the salary ceiling for the current MX grade I am in.

If I get promoted this year, does it mean that I will only get the promo increment component?

No you get both increments, govt do not short-change its workers.

Anyone knows how long it takes for the ministry to get back to you on a medical checkup after management approval? And how long is the wait between medical and signing of offer letter, will it take more than a month?

Yes. The contract is renewable, depending on performance on the 6th month and also subjected to headcount. But there seems to be no PB?

The new salary range would also apply, which the maximum is more than the maximum of the old salary range.

Are your friends in Ministry or stat board? It is the norm nowadays to offer a "perm" 1 year contract. Under this contract, you will receive the same perks and benefit as with perm staff, with the exception for civil service wide initiatives (i.e. salary adjustment across the board). At the end of the 1 year, base on your performance, you will either be converted to perm, or subject to renewal of contract (if they are not so sure about you yet).
