Dear Friends, It’s very simple, take out 20% of Basic + DA for Bonus, if the company has fixed 20% as Bonus and the same procedure for Gratuity also, just take care of fixed percentage.

Ok agreed, but this is when company has a fixed bonus.
but in our case, after our 6month appraisal, being RH executive we got 25% bonus on ur ratings, whereas our expectation of bouns was somewhere around 30 to 40%, because of good rating.
now other employees at work floor, say Analyst level-3 got 58% of bouns with same procedure.
now my Question is:
Is there any bonus act says that company cannot pay HR executive more then 25 or 30% of bonus...

Dear Chanda,
As seems this case is diffrent from other cases, where the employer is paying bonus depends on calculations of productivity, may be the part of any contract or a general understanding between employer and employees, the percentage of bonus can be increased and that can be fixed by the agreement as you asked that an Executive HR is being paid 25%, whereas the Managers are getting upto 50%. So insuch cases you may refer to the below section of Payment of Bonus Act 1965:
31-A. Special provision with respect to payment of bonus linked with production or productivity - Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, -
(i) Where an agreement or a settlement has been entered into by the employees with their employer before the commencement of the Payment of Bonus (Amendment) Act, 1976 (23 of 1976), or (ii) Where the employees enter into any agreement with their employer after such commencement, For payment of an annual bonus linked with production or productivity in lieu of bonus based on profits payable under this Act, then, such employees shall be entitled to receive bonus due to them under such agreement or settlement, as the case may be :
[(Note: Ins. by Act 66 of 1980, (w.e.f. 21st August, 1980)) Provided that any such agreement or settlement whereby the employees relinquish their right to receive the minimum bonus under Sec.10 shall be null and void in so far as it purports to deprive them of such right :]
[(Note: Subs. by ibid) Provided further that] such employees shall not be entitled to be paid such bonus in excess of twenty per cent, of the salary or wage earned by them during the relevant accounting year.]
Please let me know, if this matter seems yet to be confused, will try out for the best result.
