Hi,

It's a statutory obligation of an employer to their employee. Even though it's paid out only if the employee parts ways after 5 continuous years of service, a liability will have to be captured in your book of accounts as per actuarial calculation.

Dear All,

As per the scope of the Gratuity Act of 1972, every factory, shop, or establishment employing 10 persons shall be covered under the Act. Concerning IT companies, they are covered under the Shop and Establishment Act of the respective state, and typically, those employing 10 employees shall also be covered under the Gratuity Act.

The payment of gratuity is governed by the act. An individual who has completed five years of service shall be eligible for gratuity payment, calculated as follows: 15 days' average (divided by 26) of the last drawn basic wages (Basic+DA) for each completed year of service.

The gratuity amount can be calculated using the formula:
Gratuity = [{(Basic+DA)/26} * 15] * completed years of service.

I hope this clarifies the subject matter. For more specific cases, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Hi,

Most of our colleagues have written about the Gratuity Act applicable to industries and shops & establishments in India. This act has a limit of a maximum amount that can be paid. Earlier it was Rs 3,50,000. The limit may have been raised.

Most multinationals do not pay gratuity. They offer something similar called superannuation or severance, which offers one month's salary for each year of completed service. Income tax is applicable as per law.

Cheerio,

Dear Arif, Do you mean that less than 10 members Gratuity is eligible than do you say that PF and ESI is not necessary. Uma
