Dear Mazumdar ji,
In reference to your query, I wish to mention that Section 16 of the Payment of Bonus Act deals with the special provisions applicable to certain newly set up establishments. As per these provision, the first five accounting years following the accounting year in which bonus is payable only in respect of the accounting year, in which profits are derived.
If any organization did not made profit in 1st year in that case bonus shall not be paid, but if in the next year company makes profit in financial year, the organization has to pay Bonus as per Act. Again in next year, if the organization do not make profit then, bonus is not payable.( This is applicable only for first 5 years)… 6th year onwards, the bonus is payable, whether the organization makes profit is made or not.
First of all, you need to check whether the Act is applicable to your client company as mentioned in Section 1(3)(b) of the Act or not.

Dear Mazumdar ji,
You are right as a layman it is quite difficult to ascertain the assessment of the profitability of the company. Under Section 26 an employer is required to maintain the relevant registers and records etc. The inspectors appointed under the Act have been empowered under Section 27 to check whether the employers have complied with the provisions of the Act including examination of the accounts of the firm.
