As per the amendment in 2007 in the Bonus Act, the limit of salary-wages for eligibilty is incresded to Rs.10,000/-p.m.(from Rs.3,500/-p.m.) and the basis for calculating Bonus is the salary cap of Rs.3,500/-p.m.(from Rs.2,500/-p.m.)
Pl.clarify (1)The employee drawing upto Rs.10,000/-p.m.is eligible for bonus, but(2) his salary for calculating bonus is to be caped at Rs.3,500/-p.m.,means if he is getting Rs.9,000/-p.m.,but for bonus his salary would be considered as Rs.3,500/-p.m.and accordingly his bonus at 8.33% would be Rs.3,500/- for the year.
