Hi,
Currently the eligibility for the Act is Rs 10000/ month( Basic + DA).
The payability for the act is Rs 3500.
As per my understanding Employees whose salary exceed Rs 3500 but less than Rs 10,000 shall be taken as Rs 3500.
Min: 8.33 %
Max : 20 %
E.g An employee whose salary is Rs 6500 will also be getting bonus on 3500 only.
For employees earning Basic + DA above 10,000 they get ex-gratia and Ex-gratia is at the discretion of the company. There is no limit on it.
I would appreciate others comments on whether I am right or wrong.

Thanks Sukhpal,
In regards to Ex-gratia, I believe that there is no limit on ex-gratia, the management can give it or may not give it to an employee.
If the management gives ex-gratia, then it can be any amount.
Ex-gratia is a PERQUISITE . That means it is not compulsory to give it.
If an employer wants to give the benefit of bonus to those employees whose Basic + DA is more than Rs 10,000 then this benefit is called Ex-gratia.
NO CEILING IS PRESENT ON EX-GRATIA.

Hi,
After completion of 5 years continous service an employee eligibile for Bonus, whether company earns profit or not, minimum statutory bonus @8.33% needs to be paid as per Payment of Bonus Act and maximum is 20%.It is not applicable to new establishments untill they earn profits,what we call gestation period of the company.
If we want to reward the employee over and above the provisions of Bonus Act, it is considered as ex-gratia payment.It is a sweet will to the employee.There is no ceiling on ex gratia payment
