What is Gratuity?
‘Gratuity is the payment made by the employer to an employee in appreciation of services rendered by the employee.’
Gratuity is payable immediately on the “EXIT” of employment of the employee after he/she has rendered a continuous service of not less than five years

disablement due to accident or disease.
The Gratuity Act 1972, Amendment (2010), says that benefits should be 15 days salary per year of
service with a maximum of Rs.1,000,000.
The employers can always pay better benefits than those provided under the act.
