Dear All,
Our's is a company that was formed 1.5 years back. We have 30 employees from the company formation date. Is it mandatory to pay BONUS now especially when the company is still in its inception stage. Please advise.

Dear Sir,
Appreciate your quick response. Thank you.
I'd like to know if the ACT says that it is not mandatory to pay Bonus if the company has not completed 5 years from the date of formation. Is that right? Please guide.
Thanks,
Ravi

As per payment of Bonus Act I newly formed company is exempted from paying bonus to its employees for first five years. But if the company in these five years generate profits then it is liability of the company to pay bonus (Minimum 8.33%)to its employees.

Consider the following scenario:
A company in its 2nd year with 50 employees.
Profit is Rs. 50000.
8.33% of wages = Rs 100000
Then will the company distribute the Rs 50000 as a bonus? If yes, then the bonus is less than 8.33%(minimum)? What happens in this scenario?
