Dear Shailendra
If Your Gross Salary are exceeding than 21000 PM , then you are not entitled for Bonus.
Since you have already signed appointment advice mentioning that not entitled for Bonus.
then why are u so worry.
Ur HR person / company must have strong point to show that you are out of ambit of Payment of Bonus act..
Yet you want , give ur details of salary slip

The new bonus act provides for all employees with wages of up to ₹21,000 will be eligible for bonus.
So you are eligible to bonus. A right under an act can not be contracted out. So the fact you signed a letter stating you are not eligible for bonus is immaterial. You are eligible
The money is payable within 8 months from the end of the financial year.
However the bonus will based on the ceiling of ₹7000 or minimum wages applicable, whichever higher.

Dear Shailendra,
You are definitely entitle for Bonus. Merely signing any agreement of putting any clause in Appointment Letter can't overcome the law.
There are certain laws which must be accomplished by the company under adequate Law.
Payment of Bonus Act is a compulsory Statutory Obligation. The Co. is bound to pay Bonus if they have 10 or more employees. The Wage Ceiling for Bonus is Rs. 21000/pm.
Bonus should be paid @ 8.33%, Minimum Wages or Rs. 7000/- (whichever is higher).
Mentioning such clauses in Appointment Letter falls is not only unethical but falls under Abolition of Law.
You discuss the matter with your HR. You will definitely get the Bonus.

Dear Shri Shailendraji; 24.5.16
When an Act/Law of the Country prescribes certain Rules, it is for every Co. /HRD to comply & implement it sincerely. Putting any condition contrary to the Act is wrong. The HRD must convince the Management about statutory compliance. Why disrespecting Laws of the Land. It is a Welfare Act & unethical to deny small money/benefit to the employees. The aggrieved can contest & get the benefit.
