They would just be showing gratuity in your CTC (cost to company) and they are not deducting the same from your monthly salaries. This is a general practice followed by companies in India and there is nothing wrong.
They are obliged to pay gratuity only when employees have completed 5 years of service with them. Some companies are paying gratuity to employees even they have not completed 5 years of service but this depends purely on discretion/policy of employers.
