Dear Vemula,
Advice you to read the Payment of Gratuity Act.
That will give you a basic grounding.
Commentaries about the payment system,benefits etc are available easily.
Please make an effort to do some homework and then ask specific doubts instead of a generic doubt.

As advised by Mr. Nathrao Please nurture the habit of reading and self learning. That really works. However, I have learnt a lot from this forum. So keep in touch with the discussion taking place in this forum on a regular basis. I Am sure you will get to learn a lot. Nevertheless I am telling you in short about gratuity payment. Gratuity comes from the word " gratitude" and applicable to the employees who have completed 5 years and more of their service in your organization.It is payable at the time of superannuation or resignation whichever takes place earlier. The calculation is equal to (Last drawn basic / 26) x 15 x no of years worked. Hope that will help you.
Thanks.
