| dear All i have a very urgent question related to amendment in bonus act....Due to this amendment, those employees whose Basic is less than or equal to Rs 10,000 will now get Bonus.......Here lies a problem..........some of the employees in my company were getting Ex gratia previously ( which was a part of their CTC, and the % of Exgratia was much higher than Bonus obviously), but now due to the amendment, the company has paid them Bonus ...........so they have suffered a financial loss !!.........pls let me know whether the Company should compensate them since the employees are loosing out their money ( as it was a part of their CTC ) ...........what the other companies have done .......have they compensated the employees or not? ..............also in some cases, Ex gratia was not part of CTC....the employees have been getting Exgratia as a matter of practice even when their Basic was less than Rs 10,000/-..........so now should we compensate them the balance amount ( Exgratia - Bonus).........kindly advise. Thanks Ritu Agarwal Hi Ritu, In case the ex-gratia is a commitment without mentioning that this is paid in lieu of Bonus , then it will be paid. But, if there has been a written committment of ex-gratia with a clause/ condition that it is paid in place of Bonus and in case of any change in the Bonus ACt, either will be paid, then you need not pay. You may speak to me at 9810675681. REgards, Prem Kohli
