What is Gratuity and How is it Calculated?
Gratuity is a monetary benefit provided by an employer to an employee in recognition of their long-term service. In India, it is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
To be eligible, an employee typically needs to complete at least five years of continuous service. The calculation uses 15 days of salary for every completed year of service, with a month considered as 26 working days.
