Hi Asish,

I have joined on 12/12/2006 and will be released tentatively on 10/03/2012. There is HRA, but there is no DA as I can see from the Payslip/Papers. What should be the formula for the calculation of gratuity?

A) [ (Basic Pay + D.A) x 15 days x No. of years of service ] / 26
B) 1/2 * Average monthly Salary * Completed Years of Service

Dear Ashish Option A is correct. Otherwise basic + da / 26 x 15 days wages x No of years service OK

Dear Sir,

In your case, as there is no DA, you will be eligible for gratuity on Basic only. The Gratuity Formula is: Basic salary / 26 days x 15 days x No. of years of service = ........... (gratuity amount).

Hi Ashish,

The formula for calculating gratuity is as follows: Last drawn basic salary/26*15*No. of completed years of service. To become eligible, a person should have 5 continuous years of service in the same organization. Even 4 years and 11 months will not be taken for gratuity calculation. But after 5 years, 6 months and above are considered as a year. For example, if a person has an experience of 6 years and 6 months, then it will be taken as 7 years.

Hope your queries are answered.

Friends, please revert back.

Hi, it should be treated as 5 years only. If it is 5 yrs and 6 months then it will be 6 years.

Dear K. S. Sivakumaar,

I have one doubt. As you said, for gratuity, even 4 years 11 months is not applicable. However, I have read that the minimum requirement is 4 years and 240 days for gratuity eligibility. Could you please explain this discrepancy?

Thank you.

In our organisation we do not have DA but have meal allowance which is considered for calculation of PF. Kindly advise if meal allowance + basic is to be considered for arriving gratuity amount
