Bonus calculation date - interview question

Respected Seniors, Good Evening !!

I have given an interview at a place today they asked me what is the date of bonus calculation I said from January to December (calendar year) but they are saying that bonus is calculated for financial year please clear me in short form.

Thanks & Regards
Khirod

Bonus is calculated on the basis of a balance sheet. Therefore, the financial year of the organisation will decide the bonus period. It is normally April- March. You can pay it within eight months of the close of the financial year.

Dear Madhu Sir
