Gratuity Eligibility & Legal Formula

Gratuity is a lump-sum financial reward paid by employers to workers who complete at least 5 years of continuous service in an organization.

Payment of Gratuity Act Formula

Gratuity Amount = (Last Drawn Basic Pay + DA) × (15 / 26) × Tenure in Years
  • 15 = 15 days of wages for every completed year
  • 26 = Total working days in a month (excluding 4 Sundays)
  • Tenure = Completed service years (service > 6 months rounded up to next full year)

Income Tax Exemption Limits on Gratuity

  • Government Employees: Gratuity received by central/state government employees is 100% tax-exempt.
  • Private Sector Employees: Gratuity is tax-exempt up to a lifetime ceiling of ₹20,00,000 (₹20 Lakh).

Worked Example: 15-Year Private Sector Gratuity

Inputs: Last drawn Basic + DA = ₹80,000/mo, Service Tenure = 14 Years and 8 Months (rounded to 15 years).

• Formula = 80,000 × (15 / 26) × 15
Calculated Tax-Free Gratuity Payout = ₹6,92,308.
