Dear Jagan,
You could have referred to the no of threads already stands answered categorically for this question. As per the latest amendment to the Payment of Bonus Act,1965, minimum bonus under the Act shall be Rs.7000/= or the minimum wages WHICHEVER IS HIGHER only. So, you have to pay the minimum bonus of Rs.7000/= to the employees whose minimum wages is less than the said amount.

In the light of the valid query raised by our learned member Shailesh, I would like to elaborate my earlier reply. Minimum Wages here refers to the minimum wages fixed by the appropriate Govt. for the employment under the Minimum Wages Act,1948 and not the wages,if any actually paid less than it. In such a situation of lesser rate of payment of wages contrary to section 12 of the MW Act, the employer has to check whether the monthly minimum rate of wages is equal to the notional rate of Rs.7000/= p.m or more and if more, the bonus shall be computed on the basis of the higher minimum wages only.

The word minimum wage occur only in sec 12 of the POB Act 1965.The section deals with calculation of minimum and maximum bonus of employees with wages above Rs 7000/-pm.So computation of bonus w.r.t minimum wages apply only to employees with wages above Rs7000/-pm.
So in my opinion the bonus of employees with wages of Rs 6000 pm (less than Rs 7000)is to be calculated on Rs 6000/- only.The wording of sec 12 is like that.
