Dear All,
Answer to Mr.Rao's query : Bonus act is Central Act and is applicable throughout India.
Answer to Mr.Mahesh query : If the employee is drawing a salary exceeding Rs.3500 but less than Rs.10000/- he is eligible to receive bonus but considering the wage limit as Rs.3500/-.
But if the employee is on Loss of pay.
Deduct the Pay equivalent (LOP) from the Basic + DA and if this figure hovers between Rs.3500/- and Rs.10000/- consider that he has earned Rs.3500/- (Wage ceiling)
But if the figure is lower than Rs.3500/- say Rs.3400/- then consider it as Rs.3400/-
In other words do not consider the Wage ceiling (Rs.3500/-) for computing the earned Wages.

Dear Friend,
As per the calculation of bonus only those employee is covered who has work for 30 days in an organisation and there salary(Basic+D.A) is less then 10000. As per the bonus policy minimum bonus payable is 8.33% and maximum 20% of the Salary(Basic+D.A) i.e. on 3500/-
For the calculation of Bonus:-
Suppose any employee join an organisation and his salary(Basic+D.A) is less then 10000 then for bonus calculation consider the salary(Basic+D.A) Rs.3500/- , Now organisation decided to give 20% bonus then for one month bonus is 3500*20%=700
if any employee work for 15 days in a month july then there calculation is
3500*15/(total days of month)*20%=Rs.339
for the detail plz find the attachment.

Dear Mahesh
first of all you are not legally forced to give bonus as the employee has not workned for whole month, if you want to give bonus then you have to give on earned basis i.e. 3500/30X18= 2100 the percentage as declered by management say if the % is 10% then the bonus amount will be 210/- Hope this will satisfy you

Relex guys. The proposed Bonus Amendment Bill is a private bill No. 15 of 2010, introduced by a MP. Normally, MPs introduce private bill being theri privelege. Such bills are normally withdrawn after the reply of the concerned minister. I think in this case also, it is unlikely to become act as of now.
