    Hi Kavitha,

    The last amendment to the Act raised the eligibility ceiling of wages for the purpose of calculating bonus to Rs. 10,000/-. The maximum wage limit has also been enhanced to Rs. 3500/-.

    You can find the relevant amendment notification towards the end of the page in the following link – http://www.hrindya.com/bare-acts/payment-related-laws/payment-of-bonus-act-1965/

    Dear Sir,

    Pl. clarify this “revised the wage ceiling from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 18,000 under the payment of wages act, with effect from 12th September 2012.

    This date is effective from date of case file or date of out of employee.

    Means whose employee file case in labor court. If Employee out from office in 1st April 2012 and his salary that time rs.17000/-. can employee file case in 2013. or not.

    Dear Madam,

    If the contention is the applicability of the Act then the court should not entertain it as the cause of action did not exist at that point.
