The payout will be paid along with February’s salary, according to an internal communications rollout, the report said.
Employees said individual payouts ranged between 75 percent and 100 percent of variable pay. Some reported receiving up to 15 percent more than the previous quarter, while a few said they received the full 100 percent.
The company had paid an average of 75 percent of the target bonus for the July-September quarter.
According to a person aware of the matter who spoke to The Economic Times, the payout is the highest so far in FY26, surpassing any quarter in the previous financial year.
Strong business performance
The higher payout follows a quarter marked by steady business momentum and deal wins. While announcing its third-quarter results in January, the company raised its revenue expectations, citing strong performance and a favorable demand environment.
During a town hall meeting last month, Chief Human Resources Officer Shaji Mathew had indicated that employees could expect better variable pay compared to previous quarters.
Infosys has approximately 323,000 employees. The company completed its rating cycle for the period November 2024 to October 2025 and published individual ratings in December.
We are waiting for clarity about salary increases
Employees are now awaiting communication regarding annual salary reviews. Prior to the town hall, several parties had sought clarity on the timelines for the increases.
Last year, the company published salary review letters in February, awarding most employees pay increases of between 5 and 8 percent, depending on performance reviews.
The latest payout comes as tech stocks witnessed volatility on concerns that rapid advances in AI could reshape demand for traditional IT services. However, the improved bonus could help stabilize employee sentiment within the sector.
