As the eligible employees have to be drawing ₹21000 per month or less (basic + DA, excluding other allowances) as per the Payment of Bonus Act 1965, the employee concerned is out of coverage (drawing >Rs. 30,000) as per the Act and hence ineligible to invoke the jurisdiction of the authorities concerned.

Ya it is true there is a norm of below 21000 Rs is eligible for Bonus eligibility for a private employee. But if it is Basic pay Plus ➕V. D. A (variable Dearness Allowance) totalling below Rs 21000 /-only.THAT IS RULE OF LAW'S APPLICABILITY. SIR SO PLS CHECK YOURSELF HIS SALARY IS BELOW RS 21OOO UNDER ABOVE NORMS... PAY BONUS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. WITH NO CONTRAVERSY.

MOREOVER I WISH TO CLARIFY WHAT IS IN PRACTICE NOW ... IS.. IN EVERY FACTORY IRRESPECTIVE OF WAGE LIMITS ALL EMPLOYEES ARE BEING PAID BONUS BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY. SO SIR PLS GO AHEAD. ASK YOUR EMPLOYEE AND SETTLE THE ISSUE AMICABLY... NOTHING HAPPENS IF BOTH ARE COMPROMISED OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT BY NOT DRAGGING THE ISSUE UNNECESSARY HEADACHE TO THE COMPANYWITH RECEIVING NOTICES FROM LABOURDEPT. FOR JOINT MEETINGS.

Please specify the left employee of basic & DA. If the basic & DA below 21000/- then he is eligible for bonus. If company has not paid during 2 financial year definitely he is eligible.
From India, Bangalore
The component considering for bonus calculation is Basic + DA, and the ceiling is 21000/- and below.
whatever the gross may be, if the employees Basic + DA is 21000/- pm or less, then they are/were considered for bonus.
Hence, in your case check whether the concerns have >or = to 21000/- (Basic + DA) then they are eligible otherwise not.

If there is a practice of payment of Bonus to all employees irrespective of their pay then the exited employee also entitled to get bonus. The Union can raise industrial dispute for payment of bonus of exited employee also.
