Dear friend,

As per the amended provision of sec.12 of the Payment of Bonus Act,1965, when the salary of the employee exceeds Rs.7000/= p.m, bonus shall be calculated as if the salary is Rs.7000/= only or the minimum wages fixed by the appropriate Government under the Minimum Wages Act,1948 for the employment whichever is higher.
