How it is calculated
- Gratuity = last drawn monthly basic plus DA × 15 ÷ 26 × completed years of service.
- If the establishment is not covered by the Act, the divisor is 30 instead of 26.
- A part-year counts as a full year only if it is more than six months.
- The tax-free ceiling and the statutory ceiling are ₹20 lakh.
- Gratuity normally needs five years of continuous service. A fixed-term employee under the labour codes is eligible after one year, which you can select.
