    Hi Sir,

    Thanks for the clarity. Can you please share how much amount we need to pay as an employer on Medical Bonus under maternity benefit? I see many internet links with amounts like Rs. 250/-, Rs. 1000/-, Rs. 3500/-.

    Also, please share the link to the gazette notification for such an amount.

    Awaiting your response on this.

    Thanks

  • Dear Citehr Member Ms. Parul,

    Your query on Medical Bonus is welcome. According to Section 8 of MB Act 1961, the Central Govt. is empowered to increase the amount of medical bonus every three years. The Central Govt. accordingly raised the amount from Rs.2,500 to Rs.3,500 via Ministry of Labor & Employment Gazette Notification No. SO 2831(E) dated 19.12.2011. The notification is available in the public domain.

    Hope this may clarify your quest.
