– Gratuity is payable only after completion of 5 years from Date of Joining/Absorption, after separation from the company.

– There should not be any break in your services. Entire job tenure should be in the same organization. The service period is rounded off to nearest integer this means if you have done a job for 4 years and 6 months you are eligible to get gratuity amount. Above 6 months is considered as a completed year.

– Above rule of 5 years is not applicable in case of disablement or death. The entire amount is given to legal heirs or nominee.

Gratuity payable is calculated using following formula –

    Just wanted to know 1 more thing, Currently my eligible gratuity amount is showing XXXX as I am working for 6 years for an employer.. My question is if i quit after 20 years, then this amount will be calculated based on last drawn salary. That means my earlier salaries do not have a role..Please clarify…In this case, although currently it is lessa mount, it will become a good amount. ALso, my employer has mentioned that maximu gratuity amount one can get is 10 lakhs..Please clarify…

    Hi
    I have 8 months of contract experience and post that I was promoted as permanent employee (4.7 months) in my previous company.
    Will the contract experience be aggregated?
    So we’ll be eligible for gratuity?
    Please clarify.

    Dear Sridharan,

    If termination letter is not given during your job tenure and you have served continuously, your contract period will be considered for gratuity.
