Extra money given at a festival should never turn into an argument about what the wage was.

On paper

You give ₹2,000 at Diwali. Next month he remembers a bigger salary, and you remember a gift.

In DailyPlus

The wage is the wage. The bonus is a separate line, with the date and the reason.

It does not change the wage

The agreed wage stays where it is, so next month starts clean.

It shows on the payslip

On its own line, so anybody reading the slip can see what it was.

Your worker sees it too

On his own phone, on the day you record it.

What if…

What if the bonus is for the whole shop?
Record it for each worker. The reason can be the same for all of them.
Is this the bonus the law talks about?
Not necessarily. The Payment of Bonus Act has its own rules, and our guide explains them. What you record here is what you actually paid.
Can a bonus be taken back?
You can delete an entry you made by mistake. What you owe somebody is between you and them.

Where this matters most

Questions people ask

Does a bonus count in the salary total?

Yes, in what you paid. It is shown separately from the wage so both figures stay clear.
