    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is partially correct. Ex-gratia is not a favor but an amount paid voluntarily to employees. It is not mandatory but can be given based on various factors like financial performance.

  • Dear Moger,
    One common example of an ex gratia payment is an extra payment made to an employee when she is laid off. A company may offer benefits above those mandated by law as an expression of thanks for service or to compensate for the job loss. The company is not admitting any wrongdoing by offering this expression of goodwill, and the employee could chose to turn the payment down if there was a compelling reason to do so.

  • Dear Mr. Moger,
    Bonus is paid to the employees who are drawing salary upto Rs. 10,000/- p.m. whereas Ex-gratia is paid to those employees who are drawing salary more than Rs. 10,000/- p.m. The difference between bonus and ex-gratia is that bonus is mandatory and ex-gratia is optional.
    The rate of bonus may be 8.33% (minimum) or above as per Company's policy.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is partially correct. Bonus and Ex-gratia are governed by different laws and are not solely dependent on the salary amount. Bonus is mandatory under the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, while Ex-gratia is discretionary. The Payment of Bonus Act mandates payment of bonus to employees earning up to Rs. 21,000 per month. Ex-gratia can be paid to employees regardless of their salary level, but it is not a legal requirement. The distinction between the two is not solely based on the salary level. The rate of bonus payment is not fixed at 8.33%, it can vary based on company policy but should not be less than 8.33%.

  • Although, it is not compulsory but Companies pay ex-gratia. Amount of the ex-gratia may be vary from Company to Company, according to the policy of the Company. Further, it can not be taken into CTC because it is not certain.

  • In bonus paying there is ceiling of 3500. The employees whose basic is more than 3500 also get bonus on 3500.
    If the employer declare bonus on the actual basic and not on the 3500. Then this extra amount will also called EXTRA GRATIA.
    And if employer declares bonus for the employees whose basic is more than 10000. then this amount is also called EXTRA GRATIA.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply contains inaccuracies. According to the Payment of Bonus Act, the calculation of bonus is not capped at Rs. 3500 for employees with a basic salary above that. This Act mandates a minimum bonus of 8.33% of the annual salary, with a cap on salary at Rs. 7000 per month for calculation purposes.

  • Mr. Mogar
    Bonus payable limit is Rs. 3500/-. If one man having 5000 as a Basic then Company have to pay bonus on 3500/-.
    IN other case, company wants to pay him on actual basic then Company can pay Bonus on 3500 and Ex-gratia on 1500/-.
