Amendment to the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965

The Cabinet in its meeting held on October 1, 2007 has approved the Amendments to the payment of Bonus Act, 1965, which are as follows:-

i) Amendment to Section 2(13): To raise the eligibility limit for payment of bonus from the salary or wage of Rs.3500/- to Rs.10,000 per month.

That means Section 2 clause (!3) of the bonus Act, which prescribes the limit of wage or salary has undergone the required changes.

Before, who ever used to get upto Rs. 3500 pm wage or salary were eligible for bonus, now it is increased to Rs. 10000/- pm from Rs. 3500/- (maximum limit is Rs. 10000/- pm and minimum shall be paid on rs. 3500/-, what ever the salary or wage may be

ii) Amendment to section 12: To raise the ceiling for calculation purpose from the salary or wage of Rs.2500/- to Rs.3500/- per month, and;



This means, what ever the less amount you get the minimum of Rs. 3500/- pm will be taken in to consideration to pay the bonus.

In the sense your Bonus will be calculated on minimum of Rs. 3500/- basic pay..... (here your bonus will be on your salary what you get say is Rs. 2000/-pm, you are supposed to get Rs. 20 as bonus and since bonus shall be calculated on 3500/-,(minimum) extra Bonus on 1500/- will be paid. that is Rs. 15, so your bonus will be rs. 35 minimum, calculated on Rs. 3500/-pm)

iii) Deletion of section 32(vi): To cover the employees employed through contractors on building operations .

This means Section 32 clause (vi) no more exists in The Bonus Act.
