Bonus and PF Deduction

In general, bonuses are considered part of an employee's salary and are subject to PF deductions. If the bonus is paid on a monthly basis, it would likely be included in the calculation for PF deductions along with the regular monthly salary. The specific treatment of bonuses in PF deductions may vary depending on company policies and local regulations. It's essential to review your organization's policies and consult with HR or finance professionals to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

Hi Ritesh, No, a bonus is not applicable in PF deduction if it is paid on a monthly basis. PF deduction is calculated based on the basic salary and dearness allowance, and a bonus is not included in these components. Therefore, a bonus is not considered in PF deduction if it is paid on a monthly basis.

Thanks
