Accenture India Awards Performance Bonuses Up to 26% Amid Limited Salary Hikes
Accenture India has announced performance-linked bonuses ranging from 8% to 26% for eligible employees in its November 2026 rewards cycle, with top performers receiving the highest bonuses. Employees up to Career Level 9 receive bonuses twice yearly, while higher-level employees receive them once annually. However, salary hikes and promotions remain largely on hold, with increases limited to exceptional cases. The bonuses are significant given that India accounts for nearly three-fourths of Accenture's global workforce of over 800,000 employees.
