MUST KNOW ABOUT GRTUITY
 
Gratuity is a lump sum amount that your employer pays you when you retire or resign from the organization. An Employee does not contribute any portion of his salary towards this amount.
 
Gratuity is paid out at the time of 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.
 
CASE-1: You are covered Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1971:
 
Gratuity shall be calculated as per the below formula:
 
Gratuity = Last drawn salary x 15/26 x No. of years of service
 
Your last drawn salary will comprise your basic + DA. For computation of gratuity, your service period will be rounded off to the nearest full year.
 
CASE-2:  You are not covered Under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1971
 
Gratuity shall be calculated as per the below formula:
 
Gratuity = Last drawn salary x ½ x No. of years of service
 
Your last drawn salary will comprise your basic + DA+ commission on sales on turnover basis. For computation of gratuity, your service period will not be rounded off to the nearest full year. While calculating completed years, any fraction of the year will be ignored. For instance, if the employee has a total service of 20 years, 10 months and 25 days, only 20 years will be factored into the calculation.
 
GRATUITY EXEMPTION:
 

Death-cum-retirement gratuity received by employees of central or state governments and local authorities is exempt without limit.  


Gratuity received under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1971 is exempt to the extent that it does not exceed 15 days' salary for every completed year of service calculated on the last drawn salary subject to a maximum of Rs.3.5 lakh.  


Any other gratuity is exempt to the extent that it does not exceed one half-month salary’s for each year of completed service calculated on the basis of average salary for 10 immediately preceding months subject to a maximum of Rs.3.5 lakh.  

The ceiling of Rs.3.5 lakh applies to the aggregate of gratuity received from one or more employers in the same or different years.
 
POINTS TO BE REMEMBER:
 

Last drawn monthly salary as on date is taken into account
If total period served with the current employer is less than 5 years no gratuity is payable to any individual
For calculation of gratuity period served at a stretch with one employer is counted
Salary includes only basic pay and dearness allowance
Seasonal establishments are not covered in this calculator
Salary remains same for the last ten month
Only commission on salary paid on turnover basis is included.
