Gerry has explained the concept of gratuity in a clear way...ctc means cost to the company...and gratuity payment for an employee is a cost to the employer, nothing wrong if the same is included in ctc....as per the gratuity act, definitely it gets payable after completing 5 years of service, employee himself is responsible for not getting the gratuity payment if service is less than the mentioned period.

Dear Gerry, Nice explanation, however Gratuity has never been a Retention Tool and will never be. Its an instrument to ensure social security after retirement!! Regards, Rahul Chhabra

- Gratuity is a cost incurred on employee. Hence it is perfectly ethical to include Gratuity in CTC sheet.
- There are many more costs which are included in CTC and actual benefits to employee against those costs are subject to many conditions and eventualities. For Example employer is incurring cost of employer contribution to ESI but employee will get benefited only in case he falls sick and chooses to avail benefit from ESIC. Same is a case with Group Insurance Premiums.
- In case of Gratuity even though it is payable after 5 years service, employer has to incur gratuity cost from day one by way of Group Gratuity Premium or Provision for future gratuity payments.
- However, not all employees are aware of terms and conditions applicable to payment of gratuity. Hence employer has to be very transparent and upfront in not hiding such finer points while offering CTC.
- CTC Sheet should always give bifurcation of all the costs included, separately mentioning which are the components payable monthly, annually and other benefits.
- There should be specific footnote mentioning that, Gratuity is payable only after completion of five years service, at the time of seperation only.

I am fully agreed about showing gratuity in CTC by the companies and not paying to their employees, as unethical, if they leave before completing five years.
On should understand that gratuity is not a cost to the company but the organization is paying to its employee as gratitude to its employees, who has given a good time and their valuables to the organization.

I was told by my employer while joining that the gratuity amount would be deposited with govt authorities if I leave them before completing 5 yrs as Gratuity is included in the CTC. I will not get back the gratuity which is kept aside as gratuity if I chose to leave them before 5 yrs. This practice is unjust and unethical.

It depends on the company to show it under the CTC or not.
However if the company wants to show gratuity as part of CTC then the same should be communicated to employee at the time of issuing the offer/ appointment letter. Then the employee decides to join the company with such terms and conditions or not.
