Where any bonus is due to an employee by way of bonus, employee or any other person authorised by him can make an application to the appropriate government for recovery of the money due.
If the government is satisfied that money is due to an employee by way of bonus, it shall issue a certificate for that amount to the collector who then recovers the money.
Such application shall be made within one year from the date on which the money became due to the employee.
However the application may be entertained after a year if the applicant shows that there was sufficient cause for not making the application within time.
