FAQ

Common Questions

Get clear answers about gratuity eligibility, calculation rules, limits, and taxes.

What is the minimum service period to qualify for gratuity?
In most jurisdictions (such as India), an employee must complete a minimum of 5 years of continuous, uninterrupted service with the same employer to qualify for gratuity payments. Exceptions apply in cases of death or disablement.
How is gratuity calculated for employees covered under the Act?
For employees covered under the Act, the formula is: Gratuity = (Last Drawn Salary * 15 * Years of Service) / 26, where 'Salary' includes Basic salary + Dearness Allowance. The number 26 represents working days in a month.
How is gratuity calculated for employees NOT covered under the Act?
For employees not covered under the Act, the formula is based on half a month's average salary for each completed year: Gratuity = (Last Drawn Salary * 15 * Years of Service) / 30. No rounding of fractional months applies here.
Is gratuity taxable?
For government employees, gratuity is entirely tax-free. For private sector employees covered under the Gratuity Act, gratuity is tax-exempt up to a lifetime ceiling (e.g. ₹20 Lakhs in India) or the actual calculated gratuity, whichever is lower.
Does the 5-year rule apply in case of an employee's demise?
No. If an employee passes away or becomes permanently disabled while in service, the mandatory 5-year continuous service rule is waived, and the gratuity is paid directly to their nominee or legal heir.
