Dear H. Thakur,
As per gratuity act, minimum 5 years of service is required for the eligibility of gratuity but in case of death the employee will be eligibile for gratuity even if he has not completed 5 years of service.
Gratuity calculation formula = (monthly salary x 26)/15 days x no. of years of service.

Dear ,
It is of course possible to receive gratuity even if an employee has not served continuously for 5 years provided it is a case of Death and Total Permanent Disablement( Implies that a person is no longer employable in any trade).
Except in case of death & TPD , Gratuity is payable only after 5 years of continuous service.
The liability of the employer is restricted to make payment only at the rate 15 days basic+ DA(If it was paid to the employee before death/disablement) for each completed year of service.

Dear Pradip,
Let us be specific, Salary is BASIC + DA alone.
For the Gratuity calculation the gratuity calculation formula is
1. Basic/26 x 15 days x number of years of service
OR
2. BASIC + DA (Last Pay drawn) X 15 /26 X No. OF YEARS of service
The Gratuity calculation is done as per the last average remuneration drawn and time in years served by an employee.

Dear Thakur,
As per act minimum 5 years of service is required for the eligibility of gratuity for the live employees,
but in the case of death 5 years of service is not required.
Gratuity calculation formula for death case = (Basic+(D.A. if applicable) x 15) / 26 x (Date of jioning to till his superannuation i.e. upto age of 58 years)
Example : Date of Birth is 01-May-1965 , Date of Joining is 01-May-1990 & Date of Death is 31-Oct-1991.
Calculation as per above example : (8000 x 15) / 26 x 33 = 1,52,308/- to pay as Gratuity to the deceased employee.

- I wonder how members are confidently saying things which are untrue and not legal. They need to have deep legal knowledge or at least they should refer books before posting, to verify correctness of information. This is very irresponsible on their part to post incorrect and misleading information.
- In case of Death condition of 5 years service for payment of gratuity is not applicable. There is specific provision in act i.e.: 'Gratuity is payable on employees death or disablement due to accident or disease. Provided that the completion of continuous service of five years shall not be necessary where the termination of the employment of any employee is due to death or disablement.'
