The Payment of Bonus Act of 1965,2 a fundamental piece of Indian labour law, seeks to promote fair profit-sharing between companies and workers.3 The Act, which is applicable throughout India, requires businesses with 20 or more workers—including temporary, probationary, and parttime employees—to offer bonuses. Interns and employees recruited by contractors are not included, though. With a monthly cap of Rs. 7,000, the Act stipulates a minimum bonus of 8.33%and a maximum incentive of 20% of an employee's income. Bonus payments are to be made within eight months after the fiscal year's conclusion. Employee misconduct, such as engaging in violent or dishonest behaviour, is grounds for disqualification. The Act's implementation relies heavily on the provisions that deal with calculation and payment.4 The cap on pays computations balances business liabilities, while the minimal bonus guarantees a baseline benefit for workers. 5The Act's provisions have been further clarified by judicial interpretations through seminal case laws, especially in resolving disagreements about eligibility, payment schedules, and disqualification standards. The way the law is applied in practice has been greatly influenced by these decisions. The Act has significant operational issues despite its well-meaning framework. Employees occasionally experience delays or conflicts over payments, and employers frequently struggle financially to satisfy bonus obligations, particularly during economic downturns. Furthermore,legal disputes and lengthy court proceedings have resulted from uncertainty in specific laws. By looking at the Payment of Bonus Act's applicability, bonus computation methods, and judicial interventions, this paper explores the complexities of the law. It also draws attention to ongoing disagreements and implementation challenges that reduce its efficacy. This study attempts to offer a thorough grasp of the Act's influence on Indian labour relations and its function in promoting fair profit-sharing between employers and employees by exploring these issues and examining case law.
