If so, what percentage of bonus payment does the company intend to allocate to such eligible workers?"

Hi, Bonus is an entitlement under prescribed conditions as per the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965.

Companies are obligated to disburse bonuses according to the provided formula. The minimum bonus is 8.33%, and the maximum is 20% of the bonus fund calculated for the particular financial year.

Normally, for the calculation of a bonus, basic and Dearness Allowance (DA) are considered, and House Rent Allowance (HRA) is not part of the salary. Thus, if the basic and DA are up to 21,000/- or less, the worker is entitled to a bonus.
