There are two things in Payment of Bonus Act 1965:

(a) The eligibility to receive the bonus: Now this is Rs 10,000 per month .

(b) The amount of salary to be taken to calculate the bonus: This is maximum Rs 3500.

Lets take an example to understand it better.

(a) Mr. XYZ earns Rs 2500 per month. Calulate the minimum bonus.

Answer: Minimum Bonus= 8.33% of Rs 2500= Rs208 p.m

(b) Mr. ABC earns Rs 10,000 per month. Calculate the minimum bonus

Answer: The mimimum bonus shall be Rs 3500*8.33%=Rs 291

trust, this assists you.
