Please tell me if my company's one employee is resigning. He worked for 5 years and 2 months. I am calculating his gratuity using the following formula: last month's payment divided by 26 days, multiplied by 15 days, multiplied by 5 years. Is this correct or incorrect? I am considering his service as 5 years, even though he worked for 5 years and 2 months. Is this condition correct or incorrect? Also, please advise me on which records I should maintain.

Dear Member,
We are required to consider the rate of wages last drawn as defined in section 2(s) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. All other points are correct. You are requested to provide information regarding the disbursement of gratuity amount to an employee to the Controlling Authority in your area. For further details, please refer to section 4 of this Act.

Your method of calculation is correct, provided The Payment of Gratuity Act is applicable to your organization. For the calculation, some organizations will take the last month's salary, while others will consider the average of the last twelve months. Please check this with your organization.

Dear Yogesh,
You are right, and your formula for the calculation of gratuity is also correct. As per the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, we have to consider more than six months of service in one year. For example, if anyone worked for 5 years and 7 months, it will be deemed as 6 years, and 5 years and 6 months will be deemed as 5 years.
I hope your doubt is now cleared.

Salary under the Payment of Gratuity Act means only Basic and DA/VDA. I hope you have considered these components correctly, and the remaining calculation is accurate. Please remember that you have to pay the gratuity within 15 days from the receipt of the prescribed form under the Gratuity Act from the employee requesting you to pay the gratuity.

Your calculations are absolutely "RIGHT," not "WRIGHT." (This must be an inadvertent spelling error). Yes, as Mr. Khola has rightly stated, wages for calculation purposes will include only Basic Pay & DA.

Gratuity:
1. Eligibility: Only on completion of 5 years of service (provided the incumbent shall have 240 days attendance in a calendar year).
2. Formula: Basic + DA / 26 (wages last drawn) X 15 X number of years of service (@ 4.86% on Basic + DA per month - for CTC calculation).
3. Maximum Gratuity payable: Rs. 10.00 lakhs.
4. Computation of gratuity amount:
After arriving at completed years of service, if a fraction of a year comes:
a. Excess of six months will be taken as one more year, i.e., completed years of service + one year.
b. Less than six months, over and above months (01 - 06 months) shall be ignored and shall be limited to completed years of service only.
c. In the case of a piece-rated employee, daily wages shall be computed based on the average of the total wages received by him for a period of three months immediately preceding the termination of his employment.
5. In case of the death of any employee, the minimum 5 years of continuous service is not necessary, and the employee is eligible for gratuity for the period he worked in the organization.

Dear Mr. Yogesh,
Please follow the guidelines provided by Mr. Yagnaiah K. of Hyderabad as mentioned above. I am sorry to inform you that you need to work on improving your English language skills. It reflects poorly on HR executives when basic grammar mistakes are made, such as confusing "wright" for "right" and struggling to construct a grammatically correct sentence. How do you plan to effectively manage your team if these errors persist?

Sir,
Can you give suggestions? We paid an amount of Rs 2350/- for a new telephone connection, modem charge, and 512 kbps internet plan charge. My receipt date is 10-12-10, and the BSNL department said they would provide the connection within three days under the above conditions for which I paid the amount. However, presently they have informed us that there is no cable available, so they are unable to proceed with the connection. They have mentioned that they will refund the amount.
Do you have any suggestions from your side? Do I have the right to receive the internet connection? I am not interested in getting the amount refunded. We have already received a receipt from BSNL for Rs 2350.
Thank you.

Dear Mr.D. Phani Kumar, (Sr. Manager- P&A, Zuari Cement Ltd.)
With reference to your input on "about gratuity", I would like to bring to your notice that employer is liable to pay the gratuity within 30 days from the receipt of Form 'I' (application for payment of gratuity) from the employee concern and not within 15 days as mentioned by you.
Section 8 (1) (i) is very clear on time frame of payment of gartuity.
[ Sec 8. (1) Within fifteen days of the receipt of an application (Form 'I') under rule 7 for payment of gratuity, the employer shall-
(i)if the claim is found admissible on verification, issue a notice in Form 'L' to the applicant employee, nominee or legal heir, as the case may be, specifying the amount of gratuity payable and fixing a date, not being later than the thirtieth day after the date of receipt of the application, for payment thereof.]
Please make the required corrections in your input as such input will create confusion among readers.

Dear Mr. Yogesh,
In the case presented by you, the employee is eligible for Gratuity for 5 years only as the part service completed by him beyond 5 years is not in excess of 6 months for rounding it off to one year. The gratuity payable to him is monthly wages last drawn by him divided by 26 multiplied by 15 and 5. Wages, as defined under the Gratuity Act, means all emoluments earned by an employee while on duty or leave in accordance with the terms & conditions of his employment and includes dearness allowance but does not include any bonus, commission, house rent allowance, overtime wages, and any other allowance.

Dear Mr. Abbasiti (Abbas.P.S),
With reference to your input on "about gratuity", I would like to say that the calculation of gratuity by taking the average of the last twelve months' salary is not the right way to calculate gratuity as per the Gratuity Act. I do not know why there is confusion on this when "wages last drawn by the employee" is clearly mentioned in all forms (I, J, K) related to the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972. Even FORM 'L', which is a notice for payment of gratuity by the employer to the employee, has a clause "Wages last drawn" under the Brief Statement of Calculation.
