Dear – If it is a part of monthly remuneration you must have received this amount every month. You are also saying that this is the part of CTC. In that case it is shown as cost to the unit but at the same time this is to be given at the time when you become entitled to receive it in accordance with the provision of the P G Act, 1972. Moreover this point of showing gratuity in CTC has always become the point of discussion for our HR members. In my opinion you are not entitled to receive the payment of gratuity amount from the company. Opinion submitted as requested. Regards, R.N.Khola (Labour Law & Legal Consultants)

Dear Mr.Malikji, For calculating grautity, how do we consider long leave taken (eg: Maternity leave) to count the completed 5 years?

Hi, If you are on the payroll of the company including all long leaves, then you are entitled to gratuity after 5 years of continuous service.Some companies make gratuity payable if an employee completes 4years too. But as per the act, to be eligible for gratuity, one must complete 5 years of employment with the company. But in the appointment letter if it is not mentioned clearly that this monthly gratuity amount is payable only after completion of 5 years of service then you can always claim the amount. If it has not been given on a monthly basis then it should be due to you on your resignation as a lumpsum amount. Discuss with your HR, seek an answer to why such ambiguous payment structure is given if the company has no intention of giving the gratuity before completion of 5 years. This is my personal opinion,I think one must make some noise so that the policies change atleast for the benefit of the rest. Thanks Geeta

Dear As your gratuity was included in your CTC and CTC is cost to the company therefore it is already cleared that they have given the amount of gratuity with your salary on per month basis as mentioned in the salary break up but it can be availed only after completion of 5 years of your job tenure.
