Dear Ms Kanaka
In addition to above information you shauld keep in mind that we should calculate bonus on number of working days of employees in that period, ie, we should not take into cosideration leaves holidays & absentes for the purpose of calculating Bonus.
Bonus is payed only for the number of worked days from april to march of every eyer completed year which will become due after 9 months from the date of eligibility for payment.

hi
Under the act as 'BONUS ' no amount can be paid to an employee you have categorised..Any payment made is taxable .Some amounts are booked under ex gratia,special annual pay[taxable] or gifts[FBT applicable] and paid.ESOPs and rewards are others.
Today when CTC is calculated, due to the act limitation this component is included here and total pay announced.

Dear Kanaga :
In addition to Mr Manu's comments, I wd like to indicate that the bonus is paid on the wages earned.
When there is a LWOP or absence, where is the question of salary paid.
If no salary is paid, bonus is not payable.
Hope this is clear.
