Dear Sir,
I joined Fiat India Automobile Pvt. Ltd. in August 2020 as an apprentice. Upon completing the apprenticeship in August 2021, I was transitioned to a trainee position for a period of one year. I successfully completed the trainee period with the best record as recognized by the company. However, I was not continued as a trainee 2 for reasons unknown to me. Additionally, I was not provided with a Diwali bonus, while it was given to another trainee employee.
Could you please clarify whether I am eligible for the bonus or not?
Thank you.

Apprentices are generally not considered as employees under the Payment of Bonus Act. The question is whether you were an apprentice or a trainee. It could also be that you were a trainee under Standing Orders, or even have been an apprentice under standing orders which specifically would say you are not an employee.
Your appointment letter would probably solve the problem. You should speak to your manager, as well as the HR Head, and tell them why you feel the company was unfair to you in giving the bonus to another person at the same level but not to you. Fighting for the small amount is probably not worthwhile.
