Dear,
Request you to search articles on citehr, before posting your queries.
There have been numerous discussion based on the payment of Bonus.
1. Bonus is calculated on Basic+DA
2. The maximum elegible amount for Bonus is Rs. 3500 per month
3. Employees earning more than Rs. 10K (Basic+DA) monthly, are not covered under the Bonus Act
Companies can still go ahead and pay them bonus, it's their personal choice; not a mandate.
4. If one earns Rs. 2800 as Basic+Da, then the Bonus will be Rs. 2800 per month.
Regards,
Rahul Chhabra
