Since he is working as a contract labor through a contractor, he is eligible for a bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act. However, his eligibility for the bonus will be Rs. 7,000 for the whole year or as per the minimum wages, whichever is higher.

For example, if his minimum wage is Rs. 8,500 per month and he worked for the whole financial year (April to March) without any salary deductions, he would receive Rs. 8,500.
