Infosys has reduced performance bonus payouts for the March quarter after disbursing its strongest variable pay in more than three years in the preceding quarter, according to internal communication reviewed by Moneycontrol.

The average bonus payout for the quarter ended March 2026 was lower compared to the December 2025 quarter, when the company had paid out the highest variable compensation in over three years. The reduction comes as the IT major navigates a challenging demand environment.

An Infosys spokesperson declined to comment on the specific payout percentages, citing internal policy. The company's variable pay is linked to individual and company performance metrics.

Infosys reported its Q4 results on April 17, 2026, with net profit rising 12% year-on-year to ₹6,906 crore, while revenue grew 8% to ₹40,986 crore. The company maintained its FY27 revenue growth guidance of 6-8% in constant currency.
