The Gratuity paid according to Karnataka KCSR rules to me is lesser than the gratuity act rules

Sir, The Gratuity paid according to Karnataka KCSR rules to me is lesser than the gratuity act rules. Gratuity according to gratuity or state civil rules?
Please reply.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

The formula for Gratuity is last drawn basic x 15/26 x number of years completed. You can check by yourself.

Gratuity payable to a Government employee of Karnataka is covered by the Death cum Pension/Gratuity Rules of the State, it cannot be compared to the gratuity payable as per the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972. It appears you are governed by the KCS Rules, so gratuity as per the Death cum Pension/Gratuity Rules will be payable. If there is any discrepancy in it, then you can agitate for it. Otherwise, no claim can lie for gratuity as per the statutory Scheme.
