Hi
For availing Gratutity, an employee should completed Min 5 years of continuous service in an organisation. For employees below 5 years of service, no employer is liable to provide Gratuity....
More over Gratuity means:an Exgratia amount ie, an amt given in a gratitude from the employer for any employee towards his good service rendered for the company..

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains inaccuracies. The gratuity calculation and eligibility criteria mentioned are not entirely correct. The Payment of Gratuity Act states that an employee is eligible for gratuity if they have completed a continuous service of 5 years, with some exceptions. However, the formula for calculating gratuity includes a provision for employees who have completed more than 1 year but less than 5 years of service. The gratuity amount is calculated based on a specific formula involving the last drawn salary and the number of years of service. Reference: - Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972

  • Hi,
    Gratuity will be applicable for employees who have completed 5 years of continuous service and above in the same organization.
    Formula for calculating gratuity is
    ((Basic + DA)*15/26)*No. of years of service which includes completion of 6 months of service also.

    But he would be payed just 3.5 lacs as gratuity as Max. Gratuity payable under the Act is Rs. 3,50,000/- (w.e.f. 24-9-1997)
