Employees at Bengaluru-based IT giant Infosys are set to receive an average performance bonus of nearly 80%, Moneycontrol reported, citing an internal staff memo. The payout follows the company’s strong earnings in Q1FY26. On July 23, the IT major reported an 8.7 percent year-on-year rise in quarterly net profit to ₹6,921 crore, while revenue grew 7.5 percent to ₹42,279 crore. The strong results allowed the company to maintain a higher bonus, reinforcing its performance-linked rewards.
The company announced that bonus payouts will be linked to performance ratings across levels. For PL4 employees, the payout range is 80% to 89%, while PL5 employees will receive between 78% and 87%. For PL6, the payout will vary from 75% to 85%, based on individual performance categories. Most of Infosys’ 3,23,000 employees fall under Position Levels 4, 5, and 6. Employees can access their bonus letters in their “e-dockets.”
The news follows TCS, its bigger rival, posting a 3.1 per cent revenue decline and narrowing its guidance range, signalling better clarity on deals despite continued economic headwinds.
