Dear Hemlata,
Employer is not entitled to dedcut the graduity from the employee's GROSS salary.
it is a part of the CTC structure and the dedcution can be done from his CTC, also employers take some kind of LIC for this and make some kind of provisions on their books of accounts for graduity

Dear Hmlata,
Employer has no right to deduct gratuity from employee salary, It could be shown in your salary break up which would be CTC.
Means, your cost to company.

Dear sir,
Please let me know , salary meaning for gratuity calculation , is there any changes after passing of wage code bill, 2019.
