Bonus eligibility increase expands wage and calculation ceilings while not creating entitlement to double bonus.
The Payment of Bonus (Amendment) Act, 2015 increases the monthly wage eligibility threshold for bonus entitlement and raises the ceiling used in bonus computation to a higher fixed amount or to the scheduled employment minimum wage as fixed by the appropriate government, whichever is higher, thereby expanding who may qualify and the wages considered for bonus calculation, but it does not create an entitlement to pay double bonus.
