Dear Rashmi,
I clarify your querry. The eligibility is already explained by our friend Mr. Narayan . Any employee works in the establishment for a miniomum 30 days in the financial year he is entitled to receive the bonus. The bonus computation shall be actual earnings by the employee ie Basic and DA only. You can go on compute his earnings in the financial year and total at the end of the f.y.. On the gross amount or on total amount of his earnings he shall be entitled minimum, bonus @ 8.33 %.
As raised another query by you that, if he joins and worked for 4 months and then he left and he rejoin after two months, even then he will be eligible. If there is a gap between two service period, he will not be eligible for the intermittent period you can treat this as Zero for this period he will not entitled. If you desire you can make two entry in the Form C Bonus pay sheet or you can club doesn't matter. But he must get bonus as per provisions of Payment of Bonus Act. The Bonus payment will be made within the eight months from the date of closure of financial year. Any time before 30th November every year can be disbursed/ After disbursement of Bonus to the eligible employee you have to submit a Annual Return to the Labour Officer concerned.

Dear All
There is a Kerla HC judgemnt where in it is ststed that Bonus and Gratuity is NOT a responsibility of Principal Employer.The gist of case law is ,while defining the term wages the ID Act and Paymnet of wages act specifically excludes bonus and gratuity from its purview.Therfore its not a liability of Principal Employer in respect of contracotr's employees.
