If the organization pays leave and bonus in monthly basis, how can the leave and bonus register be maintained?

You cannot pay (pay salary in lieu of leave) every month. Leave is a employee welfare measure and the same is meant to be availed and not surrendered or encashed. It is with this objective that the law has mandated encashment of leaves only when the employment is terminated and not during the service.
Bonus is an annual payment. It cannot be paid in monthly installments. Moreover, the law of Bonus provides that any bonus payable for the preceding financial year should be paid within 8 months of the current year. If you stretch it to 12 months, it would become illegal.

If the bonus element or a part of bonus is paid monthly, the same will not be treated as part payment of bonus or pooja bonus or customary bonus, as permitted under section 17 of the Act. If permitted the very objective of the act will be defeated.
You are right, there are companies who pay it in parts, but there are companies who deviate from the law.
Incentive is different from bonus. Incentive is an additional remuneration based on targets, and it is purely an amount payable on fulfillment of certain conditions. It is outside the scope of Payment of Bonus Act or any statute governing payment of wages.

It is a fact that other than few organized sectors, MNCs etc , most of the Indian organizations are not following Bonus Act in totality. Most of the organizations are paying 8.33% as minimum bonus irrespective of profit or loss. Some organizations are paying ex-gratia other than bonus.
If we are interested to follow the Bonus Act in totality, it will be required to determine % of bonus based on the basis of Gross profit of the P & L Account of any particular financial year , available surplus, allocable surplus, Set On & Set Off.
After determining the % of bonus, the statutory bonus to be paid within 8 months of completion of financial year in one go, not on any other method. If we follow any other method it will be illegal or customary bonus.
