Dear Seniors,

I am working in a manufacturing unit, and recently one of my workers attempted suicide and passed away. Now, I would like to settle the gratuity amount for him as he had joined in 2009.

I am unsure whether he is eligible for gratuity. If he is eligible, could you please guide me on the procedures and the calculation involved?

Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

With Regards,

No. In the case of death or total permanent disablement one year service is enough for gratuity. Varghese Mathew 9961266966

Dear,

There is a gratuity calculation formula: (BASIC + DA * 15 * COMPLETED YEARS OF SERVICE / 26).

In case of death, you have to find out who the nominee is and ask them to fill out FORM J. If no nominee is mentioned, then you should ask the legal heir to fill out FORM K and submit that form to the Controlling Authority of your area for further procedures.

Dear All, What about insurance cover under gratuity scheme ?

Five years of continuous service are not applicable in the case of an employee's death. Therefore, in the stated scenario, gratuity is payable to the nominee of the deceased employee. For calculations, it is suggested to thoroughly review the Gratuity Act.

Thank you.
