14 November 2008 Hi,

What is bonus Vs Ex gratia.

Whether can i pay bonus at the rate of 16% when there is no allocable surplus i.e. 8.33% alone was required to be paid.whether can i call it exgratia.

Reply with authenticated case laws or references from Acts.

14 November 2008 Ex Gratia is not mandatory. Ex-Gratia is given to non-factory employees & to whom payment of bonus act in not applicable.

21 November 2008 Dear all,

my question would be made very clear ( i know what does exgratia mean) my question is bonus paid over and above the compulsion by law is whether a bonus or exgratia(ex: im in nil allocable surplus and i pay 20% bonus 8.33% is compelled by law whether the remaining 12.67% is exgratia or bonus)
p let me know about the set off calculation for this case

regards
