Bonus Eligibility and other details
- There is no minimum salary limit for bonus eligibility.
- The maximum salary limit is Rs.10000/-
- Basic + DA is considered for computing Bonus. If Basic + DA exceeds Rs.10000/- then he is not eligible for bonus. However there is a wage ceiling of Rs.3500/- for payment of bonus. If an employee draws Rs.3500/- or more up-to Rs.10000/- then his wage should be deemed as Rs.3500/- only. In other words if he draws Rs.4000/- his wage will be Rs.3500/- only for computation of bonus. If he draws less than Rs. 3500/- say Rs.3400/- then the wage will be Rs.3400/- for computation of bonus.
- The minimum % of bonus is 8.33% of annual Basic + DA and the maximum % is 20%.
- As per bonus act the maximum bonus that a person can earn is Rs.8400/- per Annam i.e Rs.3500/- X 12 = Rs.42000/- @ 20% = Rs.8400/-.
- Ex-Gratia is something that the management is willing to give voluntarily even if the employee is not eligible to receive bonus. The employer may not impose the wage ceiling of Rs.3500/- and may be willing to pay on the actual earnings of the employee even if it exceeds Rs.3500/-. He may also be willing to pay bonus if he exceeds Rs.10000/-.

Payment of Gratuity
Dear Raghavendra K,
Attached herewith Format of Form-F under Payment of Gratuity Act 1972.
PF Eligibility
The Act initially applied to factories/establishments falling within six specified industries which had completed three years of existence and employed 50 or more persons. With effect from 31-12-1960, the establishments employing 20 or more persons were also brought under the purview of the Act.
The Central Government has residual powers to apply this act to any establishment employing less than twenty employees. By virtue of these provisions, the Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme has been extended to Cinema theaters employing five or more persons, w.e.f. 1-10-1984. Also there is a provision for voluntary application of the Act to any establishment upon joint request from the employer and majority of its employees, to whom it does not apply otherwise.
An establishment to which this Act applies shall continue to be governed by this Act notwithstanding that the number of persons employed therein at any time falls below twenty. Presently an employee at the time of joining the employment and getting wages up to Rs.6500/- is required to become a member. Now an employee is eligible for membership of fund from the very first date of joining a covered establishment.
