It is proposed to revise the wage eligibility limit from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 21,000 and calculation ceiling from Rs. 3500 to Rs. 7,000 or the minimum wage notified by the appropriate Government for that category of employment, whichever is higher. With the proposed revision of the minimum wages, the average calculation ceiling would be about Rs.10,000."
Government is yet to revise the ceiling and issuing bonus orders like the earlier years till now.

Cabinet has since approved the payment of bonus with the earlier guidelines, keeping in view the urgency of payment action before the festival.It is presumed that the difference if any can be claimed by citing reference to the recently issued orders.
Lets see what will do d babus
Lot of days had been passed but the bonus stays in the pre historic days as such the amount must be revised to the appropriate respectable level.
Hope for the best.
