Dear sir,
If an employee is drawing more than 10,000/- Basic+DA per month will he be eligible for bonus(min 8.33%)? In the Bonus act it is not mentioned about the non eligibility of bonus. As it says minimum of 30 days of working in the finanacial year will make a person eligible for payment. I request a clarification in this reagard and also if some body helps with some case laws will be highly appreciated.

Dear Venkat,
An employee will be entitled to receive bonus for a accounting year if the employee actually works in the establishment for minimum 30 days in that accounting year for which the employer is liable to pay bonus.When the Act itself is clear then there is no need to go for any Ruling.For the definition of employee you may go through section2(13) of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965.

As per payment of bonus act maximum eligible salary for computation of bonus is Rs.3500/-. this implies that if a company wants to give bonus to all employees , the same will be calculated on Rs. 3500.00 only even if salary drawn by the employee is higher than Rs.3500.00
The maximum %gae is 20.
Please let me if u want any further clarification.
HAPPY DIWALI TO CIYTEHR FAMILY.

Thank you all for the reply. As per this I understood that the 10,000 limit is there only for caculation and the same does not determine the eligibility. So every person who works for more than 30 days in a Financial year is eligible for bonus (8.33%) irrespective of his Basic+DA (which may be more than 10,000 also).

Dear All,
The condition of putting 30 days service is essential , however max salary on which bonus as per act can be given is Rs.3500.00 per month. Sec 12 of the Payment of Bonus Act is clear about the cases wherein salary drawn is higher than Rs.3500.00.
The Bonus is paid on Rs.3500.00 only min. 8.33% max.20%. Any amount paid over and above the bonus shall be treated as Ex-Gratia.
Hope the matter is clear.
