Members,
Please do the bonus calculation for the following terms because i m totally confused in this respect.
Basic 4500 Basic 9000 Basic 10000 Basic12000
What is the exact execution of : 8.33%(min) and 20%(max) or wages earned during the relevant accounting year.(what is the mean of this black bold line)
I will be very thankful to all of you to describe this with an appropriate example
*(What is the limit for entitlement towards Bonus)

Dear Pulsar,
As per the latest amendment in the Bonus Act, the eligibility for the Bonus is as under :
It is applicable to those who are drawing the wages less than Rs. 10000.00 per month.
Minimum Limit for the Bonus is 8.33% and maximum is 20%.
Minmum Bonus @ 8.33% for the employee drawing wages more than Rs. 3500.00 and less than Rs. 10000.00 will be Rs. 3500.00 as the Act.
For the Employees drawing wages less than 3500.00 per month will be paid on actuals.
hope this will clear your query.

Dear Pulsar 180,
Whatever Mr. Rajeev has Conveyed is The Right Answer to ur querry.
Let me Explain it a little More.
If a person Is Drawing Basic 4500
Bonus @ 8.33 % would be Rs. 4500 Out of Which ur Liable to Pay Him 3500/- as bonus and rest can be Paid as Exgratia.
Bonus @ 20% Rs. 10800 Out of Which Ur Liable to Pay 8400 as Bonus and rest in Exgratia.
Same would be case with 9000 & 10000.
In case of a person Drawing Basic Rs. 12000/- He is Out Of Preview of the elegibility. All the Amount u Wish to pay whether it is 8.33% or 20 % will be paid as exgratia.
Hope This Answers ur Querry.
Seniors Correct Me if wrong.

MR PR VERMA ,
AS you said that
Bonus @ 8.33 % would be Rs. 4500 Out of Which ur Liable to Pay Him 3500/- as bonus and rest can be Paid as Exgratia.
that means rest can be paid in exgratia ...so this remmaining amount that candidate will be getting or else only 3500/- only ????
WILL REST OF EX GRATIA WILL BE TAKEN BY THAT EMPLOYEE OR IT WILL MOVE BACK IN EX GRATIA FUND?????

Dear Seniors,

Please correct me if I am wrong.

If an employee is receiving only Basic - Rs. 7,667/- per month, the annual amount will be Rs. 92,004/-.

Bonus Calculation is at 8.33%. So the calculation per month will be as follows:

- Minimum Wages - 3500 @ 8.33% = 291.55/-
- Ex gratia - 4167 @ 8.33% = 347.11/-

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Anonymous,

As per my point of view, ex-gratia is given to those employees whose basic + DA is more than 10,000. Please correct me if I am wrong, seniors.

Dear Pulsar,

I hope this discussion will be helpful to you.

Thank you.

Employer is paying a bonus of 8.33% of basic, and the remaining ex gratia is [20% of total gross - 8.33% basic]. This means the bonus plus ex gratia payment equals 20% of the total gross salary.

If an employee has a basic salary of 10,000 and a gross salary of 20,000, they will receive a monthly bonus of 8.33% of basic, which amounts to 833 as a bonus. The total of ex gratia and bonus would be 20% of the gross salary. The employee will receive ex gratia, which is 20% of the gross salary minus 8.33% of the basic salary, i.e., [20% * 20,000] - [8.33% * 10,000], which is 4000 - 833, resulting in 3167 as ex gratia.

The employer is paying 20% of the total gross salary as a bonus and ex-gratia.
