Dear Sir,
Appreciate your quick response. Thank you.
I'd like to know if the ACT says that it is not mandatory to pay Bonus if the company has not completed 5 years from the date of formation. Is that right? Please guide.
Thanks,
Ravi

As per payment of Bonus Act I newly formed company is exempted from paying bonus to its employees for first five years. But if the company in these five years generate profits then it is liability of the company to pay bonus (Minimum 8.33%)to its employees.

Consider the following scenario:

A company in its 2nd year with 50 employees. Its profit is Rs. 50,000. If 8.33% of wages equals Rs. 100,000, will the company distribute the Rs. 50,000 as a bonus? If yes, then is the bonus less than 8.33% (minimum)? What happens in this scenario?
