Infosys has announced performance bonuses averaging 80% for employees for the April–June quarter of FY26, marking a significant jump from the 65% average payout in the previous quarter. According to internal communication reviewed by ET, bonus payouts this quarter range between 75% and 89%, depending on employee performance and role.
The beneficiaries include employees in Position Levels (PL) 4, 5, and 6, which cover the majority of Infosys’ 323,000-strong workforce. PL4 includes roles such as senior engineers, technology analysts, and consultants; PL5 covers track leads; while PL6 comprises managers, senior managers, and delivery managers (excluding vice presidents).
- PL4 employees: 80–89% bonus
- PL5 employees: 78–87% bonus
- PL6 employees: 75–85% bonus
The payouts will be credited along with the August salary. The company emphasized in its communication that the differentiated bonuses are aligned with its goal of fostering a high-performance culture.
The move comes at a time when the IT sector is facing delayed wage hikes and job uncertainties, with TCS recently announcing layoffs of around 12,000 employees. Despite the challenging environment, Infosys has delivered strong results in Q1 FY26, reporting an 8.7% YoY rise in net profit to ₹6,921 crore and a 7.5% revenue growth to ₹42,279 crore.
Alongside the bonus announcement, Infosys has also rolled out select promotions across its Indian delivery centres. Promotions were restricted to critical roles, based on skills, experience, and team contributions, with employees typically receiving such career advancements once in four years.
An employee told ET the announcement would help boost morale amid ongoing industry headwinds.
