Dear employee,
Those whose basic salary is less than $10,000 per month are entitled to receive a bonus as long as they remain employed by the organization. If an employee has not yet collected their bonus, please send a money order to their latest known address.

Mr. Karnarun,
As per the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act of 1946, if the workman so desires, the unpaid wages and other dues payable to him shall be remitted to his address by money order after deducting therefrom the money order commission charges. If it is unclaimed, then it can be deposited with the labor commissioner.

Please appreciate the following clarifications:
1. Employees on a salary of Rs. 10,000/- per month or less are entitled to a Bonus.
2. Any employee who has worked for at least 30 days in the applicable financial year is entitled to receive the Bonus as declared by the Company.
3. An ex-employee, if he fulfills the eligibility conditions, is also entitled to receive the Bonus, just like the other regular employees on the Company's payroll.
4. Unpaid wages and Bonus, after a certain period (I am not too sure about the timeframe. I think it is two years), are required to be deposited in the Labour Welfare Fund with the Labour Welfare Commissioner.
5. The best way to handle such matters is to send the due money to the ex-employee at his last known address.
6. It is wrong to believe that only workers are entitled to a Bonus.
Cheers!!!!

After going through the discussion, one point was missing which needs clarification: As per the provisions of the Bonus Act 1965, the eligibility condition is that one must have worked not less than 30 days in the year to be eligible for a bonus.
Points of Discussion
1. If a person joined on 5.3.2012 (FY 2012-13), will he get the bonus for FY 2011-12 if the employee is still working in FY 12-13?
2. If the person left on 25.04.2013, will he get the bonus for FY 2013-14 in the Full and Final Settlement, considering the date of joining is 01.01.2010?
My concern is: In both conditions, the person has not completed a minimum of 30 days in a particular financial year, but the length of service is long, say, 3+ years.
Note: I need a legal answer, not any organizational practice. Response awaited from all experts.

In the first case, the employee is not eligible for a bonus for FY 2011-12, as "Any employee who has worked for at least 30 days in the applicable financial year is entitled to receive a bonus."
In the second case, the employee is not eligible for a bonus for FY 2013-14, with the same logic/law. However, his DOJ is 01.01.2010, so he is eligible for a bonus in FY 2009-10, FY 2010-11, and FY 2011-12, provided he has worked for at least 30 days in the applicable financial year.
Trust this suffices!
