Dear Shikha,
As already clarified one is required to work for only thirty days ( thirty working days) in an accounting year for which bonus is payable to the eligible employes. One year service is not required to become eligible for getting bonus. Go through section 8 for eligibility.

Dear Friends
Let me explain you about the days
If a person worked upto 30 April then he is not eligible to receive the Bonus because there will only 26 working days. But if a person worked upto 05 May, the he is eligible to receive the Bonus because from 01 Apr to 05 May there will be 30 working days in the financial year.
The Bonus should not be less than 8.33% and should not be more than 20%.
The company cannot pay less than 8.33% Bonus. In case the company is paying in excess to that amount then it is known as exgratia (share on Profit). The exgratia will normally be paid to the worker whose salary is more than Rs.10000/- because they are not eligible for Bonus.
Hope I have cleared the doubt.
In case of any further querry never hesistate to ask. Because knowledge develops when we start asking question.
With warm regards

There are different interpretations to salary but the general principle is to take the basic salary and the dearness allowances. As such an employee drawing basic salary and DA of not more than 10000 rupees will become eligible to bonus. However, his bonus will be calculated as if his salary is Rs 3500. This is as per the law but there can be settlements which will enable the employees to get bonus on total salary also.
