Hi Trisha
Thanks a lot... But kindly let me know is there any offence if the company is not in the practice of providing gratuity to its employees.
Thanks
Sowmya

Dear Sowmya
Greetings.
There is no offence in not providing Gratuity. But what makes offence is when an employee resigns after completing of five year of service, you are not disbursing the Gratuity amount.
But nowadays, management think of money outflow in case of more no of resignations in a year, hence they plan with LIC where a premium would be remitted based on the members age, service, salary drawn and whenever an employee resigns LIC will take care of settlement.

Hi Anita

Gratuity shall be payable to an employee on the termination of his employment after he has rendered continuous service for not less than five years and on his retirement or resignation, if there is any case of death of the employee, gratuity payable to him shall be paid to his nominee or, if no nomination has been made, to his heirs. For every completed year of service, the employer shall pay gratuity to an employee at the rate of fifteen days' wages based on the rate of wages last drawn by the employee concerned

But in the case of an employee who is employed in a seasonal establishment and who is not so employed throughout the year, the employer shall pay the gratuity at the rate of seven days' wages for each season.

The amount of gratuity can not exceed more than 3.5 lakh rupees.The gratuity payable to an employee may be wholly or partially cancelled, if the services of such employee have been terminated for his riotous or disorderly conduct or any other act of violence on his part.

Dear Trisha,
I hav query that you told employes salary of 15 days of per year if employe get a increment three time in year than how we will calculate the 15 days salary I think we will see how much we paid in a year and divide by that by 365 after that multiply by 15 Am I right pls. explain.
Regards,
Arti

Dear Arti
Greetings.
Though you have given three times increments, you have to calculate gratuity based on last month salary drawn, otherwise, updated salary and the calculation is as follows.
Rs.10000/-(Basic salary) X 15/26 X No of years of service.
Less than 6 months of service shall be omitted and more than 6 months shall be rounded off to one year.
Any doubt you can address your queries to this thread.
