                                  Da=10,000
                       Night duty rate for one unit=(40,000+10,000)/200=250 Rs

                       *One unit in Indian Railway is of 6 Hrs

                      Now, in a month if a employee has performed 120 Hrs of  Night Duty then
                   
                       No of units=120/6=20 Units
