Dear Jyotasana,
First, refer to the Payment of Bonus Act to understand the concept. The bonus should be paid to employees within 8 months from the date of completion of the financial year. For example, if March is the ending year, then it should be paid by the end of November.
As per the act, the bonus can be paid a minimum of 8.33% and a maximum of 20% of the total annual basic wages earned in the financial year. An employee who draws a salary up to Rs. 3500/- is eligible for a bonus.
We have heard about recent amendments regarding the bonus, but we have not received any circular from the government.
