I joined a company on 1st Aug 2002, and I resigned on 30th April 2011 - so total worked is 8 years 8 months, so 9 years will be considered for calculation.
My basic was 22500/- effective 1st April 2011. Before the increment, the basic was 15000/-.
According to the Gratuity Act, I am supposed to get gratuity on the last drawn salary, which is 22500/-. Gratuity calculation: 22500 x 15 x 9 / 26 = 116827.
Our company uses the LIC group gratuity scheme. Now, our HR guy is saying that they renew the gratuity scheme every year in December, so the basic will be considered for that month. His calculation is 15000 x 15 x 9 / 26 = 77885. So, according to his calculation, I'm losing 39000/-.
Dear friends, could you please help me in this regard of Gratuity calculation and the renewal policy of the group gratuity scheme? Is there any document that I can refer to in order to ensure the right calculation?

Gratuity is to be paid based on the last drawn salary. For the employee, the renewal date of the Gratuity Policy is not a concern. That is the headache of the employer. Therefore, you are entitled to receive gratuity of Rs 116,827.

Please ask the HR to refer to section 4(2) of the Payment of Gratuity Act. Also, refer to section 4A, which deals with compulsory insurance. There is no mention that the amount of gratuity shall be restricted to the amount as per policy maturity or something related to the premium paid.

Madhu is right, there is no relation to the renewal date with the calculation of Gratuity payable. Last drawn salary at the time of Exit from organisation has to be considered.

Praveen,
According to me, your employee has completed exactly 8 years of service. Also, all leaves are treated as part of regular employment. So, the calculation goes as below: 6500 X 15 X 8 / 26 = Rs. 30,000.

Sir, I worked at the Tamil newspaper Daily Thanthi from June 2002 to January 2013. My gratuity scheme is the LIC Group Gratuity Scheme. I resigned from my job in January 2013 and received a LIC gratuity amount of Rs. 98,327 as per the Majithia Wage Board. The honorable Supreme Court upheld the Majithia Wage Board award with monetary benefits effective from 11th November 2011. My last drawn salary was revised as per the Majithia Wage Board. However, the company refused to revise the gratuity. They stated that LIC gratuity is a one-time payment and not subject to revision. According to the Gratuity Act calculation, we consider the last drawn salary at the time of payment. Can you please provide information on the rules regarding LIC gratuity revision when the salary is revised after resignation?

After payment of gratuity, if the salary is revised with retrospective effect, the employee who left in between will be entitled to get the difference in gratuity. It is true that since the premiums were paid to LIC based on the pre-revised salary, LIC may not be able to pay it, but the employer cannot escape from their liability of paying it.

Gratuity would be payable on the last basic+DA drawn, so you are entitled to get calculated on Rs. 22,500.
