After amendment section 12 of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 reads as under:
12. Calculation of Bonus with respect to certain employees :
Where the salary or wage of an employee exceeds seven thousand rupees or the minimum wage for scheduled employment, as fixed by the appropriate Government, whichever is higher per mensem, the bonus payable to such employee under section 10 or, as the case may be, under section 11, shall be calculated as if his salary or wage were seven thousand rupees or the minimum wage for the scheduled employment, as fixed by the appropriate government, whichever is higher, per mensem.
After a careful study of the above amended section, it transpires that bonus to the employees drawing salary or wage of less than Rs.7000 p.m. shall be payable on actual salary or wage received by them during the last financial year. But the employees drawing Rs.7000 or more will be entitled to bonus payable on salary or wages received by them during the last financial year with a maximum limit, which is higher of the two, i.e., Rs.7000 or a percentage of minimum wage for their scheduled employment received by them. Thus it transpires that employees getting monthly salary or wage upto Rs.21000 p.m. are entitled to bonus on actual salary or wage received by them for their scheduled employment, as fixed by the appropriate Government, or Rs.7000, whichever is higher.

In the Bonus Calculation, wages as required of Minimum wages for the scheduled employment is paid to the employees by splitting the same in different components such as Basic, DA, HRA and some other allowances. In this aspect whether the bonus is to be calculated for the entire wages (comprising all the components make the total of Minimum Wages payable) or it would be on the components of Basic + DA as per the definition of the Wages defined in the Bonus Act.
