Hi,
In some companies 4.6 years are also considered as eligible period for gratuity while some companies keep the eligibility period of 4 yrs + 240 days of 5th year (which is around 8 months) while few keep the eligibility as 5 yrs. Kindly confirm it with your HR Dept regarding what policy they have kept for Gratuity.

Hi Sriram,
it is basic salary not gross salary. please check.

The simple and most used formula for gratuity is as:
Basic*4.81%*no of month (here it is not less then 60 month) which is equal to 5 years.

Hi Varun
Gratuity = Last Drawn Salary × 15/26 × No. of Years of Service
Notes:
- The ratio 15/26 represents 15 days out of 26 working days in a month
- Last drawn salary = Basic Salary + Dearness Allowance
- Years of Service are rounded down to the nearest full year. For example, if the employee has a total service of 20 years, 10 months and 25 days, only 20 years will be factored into the calculation.
