Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 10 of the Banking Companies Act, 1949, holding that the term 'remuneration' includes bonus, which constitutes a share in the profits of the company. The Court ruled that the Banking Companies (Amendment) Act, 1956, does not have retrospective effect and does not permit the grant of industrial bonus to bank employees for the period in question. Thus, the prohibition under Section 10 against granting bonuses to bank employees was upheld, affirming the Labour Appellate Tribunal's decision.
