How does Gratuity work?

Answer

You, the Master Policyholder, make regular contributions as per scheme rules and/or as per actuarial certificate. This depends on the member’s salary, for each completed year of service. On leaving the organization, the member is paid a lump sum amount as per the scheme rules, accumulated from the contribution by the employer.

Gratuity is payable if the member retires or leaves the organization due to any reason. It is also payable on death in service due to any cause.

As per Gratuity Act, 1972, the gratuity payable to a member is 15 days wages (basic plus dearness allowance) for every year that he/ she completes or part of a year in excess of 6 months. This is subject to a maximum of Rs. 20,00,000. This is a mandatory benefit payable to the member after five years of service or on demise of the member at any point in time.

However, the Gratuity Act allows you the flexibility to pay the gratuity benefit before completion of five years of service of the member and in excess of the maximum limit set under the Act.
