Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, an employee must complete at least 5 years of continuous service with the same organization to be eligible for gratuity upon separation. (The 5-year condition is waived in case of death or disablement).

The maximum tax-exempt gratuity limit under Section 10(10) of the Income Tax Act for private sector employees covered under the Act is ₹20 Lakhs.

If an employee works for more than 6 months in the final year (e.g., 7 years and 7 months), it is rounded up to the next full year (8 years). If less than 6 months, it is rounded down.

Gratuity is calculated solely on your last drawn Basic Salary plus Dearness Allowance (DA). HRA, special allowances, bonuses, and incentives are excluded.
