Dear Nabi,
If salary as defined in the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 is more than Rs.10, 000/- per month then we are not to pay any bonus to the employee under this Act. If the salary of the employee is in between Rs. 3500/- to Rs. 10,000/- per month in the accounting year & employee draws full wages in all the months &if the employer declares 20% bonus then he will be will be eligible to Rs. 8400/- as bonus

Dear Prerna,
According to the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 we are not to pay any bonus for the first accounting year in which we start providing services or production & thus if your accounting year closes on 31.03.2012 then you are not to give any bonus for this accounting year ending March, 2012.

He was promoted then w.e.from 01.04.2011 and his Basic pay was fixed @3300/- p.m. Arrears of basic was paid in next financial year i.e.2012-2013. No please clear that the bonus calculation will be done on this arrear of basic or not?
