No, the company has no legal obligation to pay a bonus to an employee whose basic salary (considered as bonus-qualifying salary) is more than Rs. 21,000 per month. If the employer decides that it should be paid to all employees as part of the cost to the company, then it can be paid. Anything paid to an employee for which the said employee has no legal right is considered an ex gratia. It is up to the management to decide whether to pay it or not.

In that case, can the company refuse to pay the bonus if it’s part of the CTC offer under the pretext of bonus eligibility criteria? Thanks,

If the bonus figure is included as part of the cost to the company, as evidenced by a CTC structure in the contract of employment, then the employer should pay it to the employee. However, in many cases, it may be listed as payable "depending on the law in force." In such instances, it becomes disputable whether the amount is indeed payable. The primary aim of including the bonus amount in the cost to the company is to enhance its attractiveness and acceptability.
If the employer anticipated that the bonus amount would fluctuate based on laws concerning minimum wages and bonus payments, taking into account 'salary' constraints such as Rs 7000 or minimum wages, whichever is higher, then it can be viewed as a variable amount payable to those falling within specific brackets. Nevertheless, if the basic salary surpasses Rs 21000, reflecting the bonus amount as part of the CTC would obligate the employer to pay the sum unquestionably.
