Statutory Bonus Calculation
The statutory bonus is to be reckoned on the actual wages. When the wages exceed Rs. 7000.00 per month, the bonus has to be calculated as if the wages were Rs. 7000.00 per month only, or the minimum wages fixed for the employment, whichever is higher. Therefore, you have to calculate the minimum bonus of 8.33% on the actual minimum wages fixed when it is higher than the notional wages of Rs. 7000.00. When it happens to be less than Rs. 7000.00, the calculation shall be 8.33% of Rs. 7000.00 per month only. This formula is equally applicable to a bonus of any percentage more than 8.33% also.
