Understanding the Payment of Bonus Act 1965: What Counts as Salary Under the New Amendment?

I want to know the names of the components falling under salary/wage under the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 to determine Rs. 10,000 as salary as per the amended act.

Hi,

Basic DA (VDA and FDA) are two components which we use for determining Rs. 10,000 as wages.

Hello all,

Thank you for the information. I just wanted to know further: do we have to pay a bonus to our field marketing staff when they are receiving their special performance bonus based on the volume of sales they are achieving.

Please provide your opinion.

Thanks once again for the information.

I will be happy to know the names of the components falling under salary/wage under Payment of Bonus Act 1965 to determine Rs. 10,000 as salary as per the amended act.

Dear Divyang,

The bonus being discussed is a statutory payment under the Payment of Bonus Act. The performance bonus, which is based on the volumes of sales, is entirely dependent on the employee's performance. It has no connection to the statutory bonus payment. Thus, employees are entitled to receive both bonuses separately.

Is 8.33% the standard percentage for calculating bonuses? If it is the minimum, what is the maximum percentage? Who determines these percentage limits?

S. Saravanan

Dear Saravanan,

The maximum limit for the bonus is 20%. The percentage of the same is fixed based on the Allocable surplus of the organization under the Bonus Act.

Thank you.

Mr. Thesule, your PowerPoint presentation is informative. However, could you please explain how the bonus is calculated for an employee who is drawing Rs. 10,000/- as Basic Pay? I would appreciate it if you could provide this information by referring to Cite HR postings.
