Hi thanks for the information. I would also share some information about Gratuity

Gratuity is a lumpsum that your employer pays you when you retire or resign from the organisation. You do not need to contribute any portion of your salary towards this amount.

Gratuity is paid out at your superannuation (if you retire at the age of 58), when you retire (at any other age) or resignation, and in the event of your death or being rendered disable because of an accident or illness. You need to have at least five full years of service with an employer to qualify for gratuity. This rule is relaxed in the last instance. In the event of your death, the gratuity will be paid to your nominee.

Your employer must pay you your gratuity within 30 days. If he does not do so within this period, he will have to pay you simple interest on the amount. This interest will be paid from the date on which your gratuity was to be paid to you up till the date on which it is paid, at a rate that the government sets for the repayment of long-term deposits.

However, if the delay in payment of gratuity was not caused by the employee, or if the employer has got permission to make a delayed payment, this interest will not be paid.

Hope this information will also be useful to the forum

with regards

Hi All,
Just a small clarification on the same lines. When we talk abt the last drawn salary, is it the gross salary or the net salary or just the basic component of the salary. Please clarify.
Regards
Vindhya

:lol:
Thanks Munam for the details information.
As correctly asked by Vindhya,
Salary considered in BASIC SALARY and not the gross/ctc etc.
Secondly no of years= no of completed years round off to nearest one earlier.
e.g. if I completed 7yrs and 6 months with my last basic is 26000/- then my gratuity will be...
Gratuity= (26000/26)*15*7= 105000/- INR
I hope this has clarified the request.

Hi Friends,
To add... and clarify.
The Maximum limit of Gratuity is Rs.3.5 lacs as per the Act, is for Taxability purpose. Anything above Rs. 3.5 lacs will taxable. An Employer can pay more than that, depend upon the Company's policy.
Kindly refer the language in the Act and have a right interpretation through expert as it really tough.
