Understanding the Bonus Act and Section 15

There is a bonus act that mandates paying a bonus to employees on a yearly basis. Our accounting year runs from April to March, and the balance has also been made.

In the Bonus Act, there are Bonus Forms A, B, C, and D. Forget Form C—it's for employee signatures only. Forms A, B, and D are for set-on and set-off.

The actual bonus paid to the employee is Rs. 2,00,000. Your balance sheet's total profit/loss is Rs. 40,00,000. Take 60% of that amount, which is Rs. 2,40,000. Actually, your profit is Rs. 2,40,000. You are to pay the bonus from Rs. 2,40,000. However, you have paid Rs. 2,00,000, and your Rs. 40,000 is set on, which will be entitled in the next year.
