Dear All,
Eligibility for Bonus
Section 8 – Eligibility of Bonus
Section 8 of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, states that – Every employee shall be entitled to be paid by his employer in an accounting year, bonus, in accordance with the provisions of this Act, provided he has worked in the establishment for not less than 30 working days in that year.
The act simply means that every employee who has completed 30 working days in any establishment in that year is entitled to receive bonus from the employer given that all the provisions of this Act are satisfied.
Under this Act, every employee who is receiving salary or wages upto Rs. 3,500 p.m. (amended to Rs. 10,000 p.m. w.e.f. 01.10.2010*) and is engaged in any kind of work whether skilled, unskilled, managerial, supervisory etc. is entitled to bonus for every accounting year if he has worked for at least 30 working days in that year. However, employees of L.I.C., Universities and Educational institutions, Hospitals, Chamber of Commerce, R.B.I., IFCI, U.T.I. Social Welfare institutions are not entitled to bonus under this Act.
Section 9 – Disqualification for Bonus
Section 9 of the Act provides for conditions under which an employee can be disqualified from receiving a bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965. The Act states that –

a. Fraud;
b. Riotous or violent behavior while on the premises of the establishment; or
c. Theft, misappropriation or sabotage of any property of the establishment.
Thus, if an employee is terminated from his job because of his inappropriate behavior on the establishment’s premises, then such an employee would not be eligible for any bonus.

Dear Surendra,
it is good effort that u reproduce the provisions of Bonus Act, but especially u missed or forget to explain the definition of 'EMPLOYEE', those who are getting salary upto 10000/- are only called as an EMPLOYEE, on the contrary those who are getting more than 10000/-p.m. are not employee under the said act and naturally are not entitled for BONUS.
Secondly, those who are getting salary/wages in between 3500 to 10000
they shall be offered bonus upto 3500/-if employer enjoyed the benefit of the provision.
