One of our permanent employee left the organisation in Nov - 2018. The company has declared 1/2 month CTC as bonus for Diwali 2019. Now this employee who left the company is asking for bonus. Should we pay him bonus or need not because he has left the company in Nov 2018 itself? we have paid him his dues in full and final settlement including Gratuity and Leave encashment. Please advise.

As rightly discussed above , if a person worked for a minimum period of 30 days in any financial year he will automatically be paid bonus as may be decided by company subject to loss of pay deductions if any . It does not matter whether the person is continuing or left the organization, if one is eligible as per Bonus Act, he has to be paid .
