Bonus

Payroll → Bonus. A bonus is a standalone run per financial year with its own slip — never mixed into a monthly run.

Three ways to compute

Method	Amount
One month's gross	The employee's contracted monthly gross, attendance ignored
% of gross earned to date	A rate (8.33 % default) on the year's processed earnings
Company-specified	A flat amount or a % of a base, typed or from a sheet

The statutory band — always shown, warns, never blocks

For Act-eligible employees (Basic+DA ≤ ₹21,000, ≥ 30 working days): minimum 8.33 % and maximum 20 % of the deemed wage — min(Basic+DA, max(₹7,000, minimum wage)) per month. A line below the minimum is flagged; above the ceiling the excess is ex-gratia. Employees above ₹21,000 have no band.

The minimum wage figure is a company setting (FY initiation / Settings) — it varies by state, employment and skill category and revises every six months, so Vetanika asks rather than guesses.

Flow

Draft (computed) → adjustments per line with a note → Approve → Pay out & lock. Payout computes TDS on the year's cumulative basis — nothing else applies to a bonus (no PF, ESIC or LWF) — and the paid bonus feeds every later month's TDS projection. Then Bonus slips (print) and Form C (register, XLSX).
