Understanding Gratuity: A Reward for Long Service
Gratuity is a gratuitous payment made by the employer to an employee for the services rendered by the latter for the former. Therefore, it is a reward for the long service rendered by the employee. In other words, it is paid when an employee leaves the company after having served the company for quite a long time.
The Legal Framework for Gratuity in India
In order to give shape to what constitutes 'long service' and to provide a definite idea as to what shall be the amount payable, Kerala State enacted the Payment of Gratuity Act for the first time, which was followed by West Bengal and later on by the present central Act of 1972.
Eligibility and Calculation of Gratuity
As per the Act, gratuity is payable at the time of an employee leaving service after completing at least five years of service. The amount of gratuity is calculated based on the salary of the employee at the time of exit, and it is at the rate of fifteen days' salary for every completed year of service.

According to The Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, every organization must pay a gratuity amount to employees who have completed 5 years of service with 240 days in each year. This amount will be paid at the time of superannuation or resignation of an employee.
The above-mentioned condition is not applicable in death cases. In death cases, 5 years of service is not mandatory.
Recently, the Government of India has increased the existing ceiling from ₹3,50,000 to ₹10,00,000. The gratuity calculation is: Wage last drawn (Basic + DA) / 26 * 15 * No. of years of service.

Understanding Gratuity
Gratuity is a scheme designed to motivate employees to serve for longer durations with the same employer. Anyone who has served an organization for more than five years is eligible for gratuity. A portion of the last drawn salary is multiplied by the number of years of service and paid out to you when you leave an organization after years of service.
