I have joined on 12/12/2006 and will be released tentatively on 10/03/2012. There is HRA but there is no DA as I can see from Payslip/Papers. What should be the formula for calculation of gratuity?
A) [ (Basic Pay + D.A) x 15 days x No. of years of service ] / 26
B) 1/2 * Average monthly Salary * Completed Years of Service

In your case as there is no DA, you will be eligible for gratuity on Basic only.
The Gratuity Formula : Basic salary / 26days x 15days x No. of years service =........... (gratuity amount)

Hi Ashish,
The formula for calculating gratuity is as follows:
Last drawn basic salary/26*15*No.of completed years of service.
To become eligible, a person should have 5 continuous years of service in the same organisation. Even 4 years and 11 months will not be taken for gratuity calculation.
But after 5 years, 6 months and above is considered as a year. For example if a person is having an experience of 6 years and 6 months, then it will be taken as 7 years.
Hope your queries are answered.
Friends, please revert back.

I have one doubt as you said for gratuity even 4 year 11 month is not applicable.
But for the same I have read that minimum requirement is 4 years and 240 days for gratuity eligibility. Please Explain it.
