The salinity is less in the Bay of Bengal because it receives a large amount of freshwater form the rivers, rainfall, as well as surface runoff

Explanation:

The Bay of Bengal is located towards the northeastern portion of the Indian Ocean, sharing a boundary with the Indian super-continent along the east coast. The seawater in this region is comprised of very low salt concentration which is nearly about 30 ppt (parts per trillion). It is because there has been constant discharge of freshwater from the Indian rivers namely the Brahmaputra, Ganga, Godavari. In addition to this, there occurs high amount of rainfall in the northeastern part of India, which results in the large scale surface runoff, which are eventually added to the Bay of Bengal.
