Dear All,
I have the following query/confusion regarding provisions/practices under "The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972". Is the ceiling of Rs. 3.50 lakhs towards the maximum gratuity payable under the Payment of Gratuity Act or the maximum amount exempted under the Income Tax Act?

Hello, Mr. Iyer,
Thank you for your reply to my query. Does this mean that if at the time of resigning or retiring, 15 days of salary multiplied by the number of years of service is more than 3.50 lakhs, legally, the employee cannot claim gratuity above 3.50 lakhs?

1. What is the basic information required for the settlement of gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972?
2. An employee who has worked in any organization for 20 years or more, is it compulsory to check his/her all increment details i.e. annual increment/salary fixation which are recorded in the service book at the time of payment of gratuity due to retirement/resignation/death?
3. Any amount which has been contributed in excess towards the employer's share in the PF account due to wrong salary fixation/increment or any other reason, can this employer contribution amount be recoverable from the payable gratuity to the employee due to retirement/resignation/death?

Dear Saxena,
Gratuity is payable if an employee has completed continuous service of 5 years as per Section 2A of the Gratuity Act 1972.
For the calculation of gratuity, the present salary is taken into consideration using the following formula:
Monthly salary * 15 * Number of years of continuous service / 26
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Saxena,
1) For the settlement of gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, you need to ensure a minimum of 5 years of continuous service from the employee and calculate the gratuity based on their last drawn Basic Salary. Apply the formula to calculate the gratuity.
2) There is no need to check the employee's past increment records to compute the gratuity; only the last drawn Basic salary is sufficient.
3) Any excess contribution made in the PF account cannot be recovered from the gratuity amount because the controlling authorities for both acts are different and hence cannot be adjusted.

Dear Seniors,
My friend has joined a new organization where, up to now, there has been no gratuity scheme. However, the management now wants to implement it for those employees who have worked around 10+ years in the organization.
Thank you.
