Payment of Bonus Act 1965 applicable in WB

This query is : Resolved 

06 January 2026 Dear all

In case monthly basic + da of an employee is less than 20000/- then he is eligible to get minimum bonus @ 8.33% rule or he will get bonus as per minimum wages act caping Rs 7000/- (max) of sec 12 rule .
This caping is applicable in West Bengal or not ?

Regards

09 January 2026 If Basic + DA < ₹20,000 and < ₹7,000, you still compute 8.33% on actual salary.
West Bengal follows the central Act; there is no separate lower cap.
Minimum bonus is always 8.33% of salary subject to eligibility.
to ₹7,000 (or minimum wage, if higher) under the Act.
