Dear Mr. Paul,
You have not mentioned your salary. Please note, if your salary is within the permissible limit, you are eligible for a bonus.
As per the provisions of the Bonus Act, if you are earning less than Rs 10,000 (Basic) as salary and have worked for 30 days in an accounting year, you will be entitled to a bonus. The bonus will be calculated on less than or Rs 3,500/- per month (section 12) at a rate of a minimum of 8.33% (section 10) and a maximum of 20% (section 11). The percentage depends on the allocable surplus of the company, but an employer will have to pay a minimum of 8.33% even if the company is not making a profit.

Hi Sandip,
Just would like to know two more things:
1. What if the company voluntarily pays a bonus @ 8.33% to all employees, whether the Basic is above or below Rs. 10,000/-
2. Is the Bonus paid on ACTUAL basic earned (i.e., if the basic is 5000/- then on 5000/- or if the basic is 12000/- then on 12000/-) are we violating the law? Or paying a bonus to employees with basic below or above 10000/- on actual basic earned is voluntary until we are not violating the law i.e., bonus @ 8.33% on below or Rs. 3,500/-
Your response will be appreciated.

Dear Hiral,
It is not at all an issue of violation of any law. The minimum bonus you must pay is Rs. 3499/-, i.e., 8.33% Bonus if an employee is employed for the full year. The maximum is Rs. 8400/-, i.e., 20% Bonus. The act says that you need not pay more than that. But if you pay above the level, it is not a violation. Even if you pay a bonus to the employee who is drawing a salary of more than Rs. 10000/-, it can also be considered as ex-gratia.
If a person serves only for 6 months, then he will be eligible for a minimum bonus at 8.33%, which is Rs. 1750, and the maximum bonus at 20% is Rs. 4200/-. If you pay below the level, then only it will be considered a violation of the law.
Hope you understood.
