In 1950, the Full Bench of the Labour Appellate Tribunal evolved a formula for determination of bonus. A plea was made to raise that formula in 1959. At the second and third meetings of the Eighteenth Session of standing Labour Committee (G.O.I.) held in New Delhi in March / April 1960, it was agreed that a Commission be appointed to go into the question of bonus and evolve suitable norms. On 6th December, 1960 the Government appointed a Bonus Commission. The Government of India vide Resolution No. W .B. 20 (3) 64, dated September 2, 1964 accepted the recommendations of the Commission subject to certain modifications. To implement these recommendations the payment of Bonus Ordinance, 1965 was promulgated on May, 1965 which was replaced by Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 assented on September 25, 1965.
