1. Bonus Act shall not be applicable and it can not be claimed.

2. even then minimum bonus of 8.33 shall be payable by the employer.

3. In case of any dispute regarding payment of bonus act the same can be referred t the authority appointed under the Act. If the employer is not maintaining payment of wages register, a complaint can be made against him.
