Dear Shri Upadhyay,
Kindly refer to our discussion regarding the calculation ceiling for
bonus. The Government is considering to revise calculation ceiling from
the preset level of Rs.3,500 per month to Rs.7,000 per month or the
minimum wages for the scheduled employment as fixed by the appropriate
Government, whichever is higher. Minimum wages have not beed fixed as
yet, however, the minimum wages will be fixed at a level which is
respectable.
2. Under these circumstances, on an average the calculation ceiling for the purposes of bonus would be Rs.10,000 per month.
Yours Sincerly,
