Can someone tell me if there is any ruling on the amount of Diwali/festival bonus? Does it differ from organisation to organisation?

Please go thru the Payment of Bonus Act for details. No difference in bonus for the organisations irrespective of its size. However, they are free to fix the ex-gratia as per their wish.

Thanks guys! We were always given 1 1/2 months salary as bonus which is also part of our CTC. On Diwali, we were informed that the bonus will not be that much but a meagre amount.

In my view the act does not talk of diwali or festival bonus. It only says that if some festival bonus is paid, then such amount is allowed to be adjusted against the bonus payable as per the Payment of Bonus Act. Bonus is payable only if the salary is less than Rs 2500 per month. May be this was raised to Rs 3500 per month recently --- i am not sure. In other words, the organisations do not have any legal liability to pay bonus to highly paid employees. If they pay, it is only an ex gratia and not bonus under the payment of bonus act.

An employee is entitled for bonus is his basic is <=10000/- , Bonus will be calculated on the base of Rs. 3500/- (Min. 8.33 % to 20% - depend on company profit - Allowacable surplus).
If company is on loss, it may be exempted for first 5 years. After that Its compulsary to pay.
Thanks & Regards

yes. if you have already paid customary bonus to your employees then you can deduct that amt of customary bonus from your annual bonus & make the range of bonus between 8.33%-20% of annual earning and not on wages
