05 April 2010 i want to know about limit of salary which eleigivle for bonus.

06 April 2010 Payment of Bonus Act, 1965:--
-----------------------------

Bonus is really a reward for good work or share of profit of the unit where the employee is working. Often there were disputes between employer and employees about bonus to be paid. It was thought that a legislation will solve the problem and hence Bonus Act was passed. Unfortunately, in the process, bonus has become almost as deferred wages due to provision of payment of minimum 8.33% and maximum 20% bonus. Bonus Act has not in any way reduced the disputes.
The Act is applicable to (a) any factory employing 10 or more persons where any processing is carried out with aid of power (b) Other establishments (established for purpose of profit) employing 20 or more persons. Minimum bonus payable is 8.33% and maximum is 20%. Bonus is payable annually within 8 months from close of accounting year. Bonus is payable to all employees whose salary or wages do not exceed Rs 3,500 per month provided they have worked for at least 30 days in the accounting year. However, for calculation of bonus, maximum salary of Rs 2,500 is considered.
