Dear all,
I had learnt the Gratuity calculation from one of our Cite HR friends, so im just explaining that again.
"Gratuity is paid for Good Gratitude."
1.If an employees has completed 5 years continuous service in an establishment, he is eligible for Gratuity.
2. Entitlement-15 days salary for each completed years of service or part thereof.
2. Salary = Basic Salary+D.A.
3. As per payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, amount of gratuity should be calculated as follows:
Formula:Salary x no.of completed years of servicex15/26
Say for Example:
Salary=Rs.5000 (Basic +D.A)
Period of service: 6 years 6 months 15 days
Completed year of service: 7 years
Gratuity= Rs.5000x7x15/26
= Rs.20,192/

Dear Kirti,
Forfeiture of gratuity is possible only when an employee is dismissed from service for gross negligence or for such gross misconduct involving moral turpitudes. Though the terminology used in the Payment of Gratuity Act is termination, an employee does not become ineligible for gratuity if his services is terminated for any other reasons as provided in the Act like causing damage to property, severe misconduct etc.

Gratuity can not be paid to a person, who is terminated before five years of continuous service. Gratuity is gratification, not award.
