Apart from pension and insurance, to avail many benefits like bonus, just a few conditions have to be fulfilled. One of them is the additional bonus available on the retirement of the employee.
The amount of the additional bonus can be up to 50 thousand rupees. Although some rules have been set to get it, it will be necessary to fulfil them.
