Tata Steel on Thursday, August 28, announced a bonus of ₹303.13 crore for its employees for the financial year 2024-25, following the signing of a memorandum of settlement with the workers' union in Jamshedpur.

For divisions at Jamshedpur, including tubes, ₹152.44 crore of the total payout will be distributed as annual bonus among 11,446 employees, the company said.

As per the memorandum of settlement signed with Tata Workers' Union (TWU), the total annual bonus payout for eligible employees of all applicable divisions and units for FY25 will be ₹303.13 crore, the steel maker said in a statement.

The minimum bonus at full attendance, and the maximum bonus at actual attendance will be ₹39,004 and ₹3,92,213 for FY25, respectively, it added.

"Since the majority of our employees of the steel company are drawing salary/wages higher than the limit laid down in the Payment of Bonus (Amendment) Act, 2015, they are not eligible for bonus under the Act.

However, respecting our old traditions, the company is going to pay a bonus to all employees in the unionised category," the statement read.

Tata Steel CEO and MD T V Narendran, Chief People Officer Atrayee Sanyal, and other senior executives signed the memorandum of settlement on management's behalf.

Tata Workers' Union president Sanjeev Kumar Choudhary, its general secretary Satish Kumar Singh and the other office bearers signed the agreement on the union's behalf.
