Hi Mr.Mukesh
Happy morning
According to Bonus Act-1965 there is a provision that Newly set up establishment is exempted from paying bonus for the initial 5 years provided no profit is made during this year. If the establishment derives profit in any of the year they have to pay bonus for that year. And from 6th year you have to pay bonus regardless you making profit or loss.
And usually bonus will be paid for accounting year.
Mr.Mukesh please determine yourself whether to pay bonus or not by above mention provision.
With Regards
Mr.Thumbs Up

Hi Mukesh & Seniors,
In case the company runs no profits than how much bonus amount to pay company roll Employees and Contract workers in the Five years.

Hi Mr.Srihari,
If there is no profit for first 5 years after establishment then there is no question of paying bonus.
