I received my bonus amount a few minutes ago. However, the amount mentioned in the e-letter is ₹57,603, but I received only ₹26,793. I fall under the 15% tax slab, so after tax deduction I should receive around ₹49k. Could you please let me know why the credited amount is lower than that?

I received so less amount that I didn't even receive a money credited message from the bank.

funny

Based on the incentive slip, It appears that the income tax was calculated on the total taxable income including the bonus amount. Moreover, since November 2025 my income fell under the taxable range due to the Merit 2025 increase. The income tax deducted during the initial months was lower. That is why more income tax is being deducted now, as it is the end of the financial year and the system is adjusting the total tax amount.

Sometime bonus comes in two parts. One in mid of march and second part with salary. So wait until you get your salary and payslip.

If anyone knows the reason behind this big deduction, please let me know. I’m really confused.

Bonus is always taxed at 30% slab.

Understood but for me 53.5% was deducted.

Bonus also depends on your YER rating

Cognizant Recently cognizant have changed their internet wfh allowance policy.we use to get 1800 per month as internet allowance without submitting any bills or transaction details. Now they changed the policy as we need to apply for icici/axis/hdfc credit card from there we need to make the transaction and reimburse the same. I am ok with everything but why i need to apply for credit card? How a company can force me to have a credit card? It will directly/indirectly alter the credit score right? Cogniza

Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?
