Section 4(6) (a) of the Gratuity Act in India states that the amount of Gratuity payable to an employee can be forfeited by the employer if such employee’s services have been terminated for any act, willful omission or negligence, causing damage or loss or destruction to property belonging to the employer, to the extent of the damage or loss so caused.
Section 4(6) (b) of the Gratuity Act states that Gratuity payable to an employee may be wholly or partially forfeited – if the employee’s services have been terminated due to riotous behaviour, disorderly conduct or any act of violence, or for any act of moral turpitude – provided such offence has been committed in the course of his employment
Failure to serve notice period does not attract Section 4(6)a or b

For not giving one month's notice there is no provision to refuse gratuity payment. If there was a clause in the appointment letter/contract that one month of notice period should be given on either side or salary for the notice period should be paid by either side in lieu of notice period, then in this situation the one month's salary amount can be reduced from the gratuity and the remaining amount has to be paid to the employee.

Drbijoy, Gratuity cannot be attached even by court decree. Therefore question of reducing notice period from pay will be incorrect and can be challenged legally.

There is no doubt the employee has completed seven years of continuous service and eligible for gratuity under The Payment of Gratuity Act
