Your question does not support the posting you made. So it is difficult answer your querry.
The gratuity to be calculated only on Basic, where DA is not followed.
Refer the payslip of last month of the employee(see the break-up of Rs.35000/- whether DA is exist) If DA is not existing then on Rs.12500/-.

Dear Dinesh,
You can refer to the definition of the term "wages" defined u/s 2(s) of the PG Act,1972 for the purposes of the Act. The definition categorically excludes all allowances other than dearness allowance. In the absence of dearness allowance in the wage structure of the employee concerned, it automatically follows, therefore, his/her last drawn basic wages alone has to be taken for the purpose of calculation of his/her gratuity under the Act;in case of the last drawn wages being a consolidated sum, the entire amount should be taken into account.
However, piquancy is added to the situation described by you in terms of interpretation. In the absence of the component of D.A in the wage structure and the existing basic also happens to be less than the sum total of the basic plus D.A of the statutory minimum wages, a grievance of lesser Gratuity can be maintenable from the perspective of beneficial interpretation. The counter plea of the overall validity of the accepted wage structure in existence can not be questioned for a particular benefit flowing out of the same structure has also some equal force. Therefore, in my opinion, the magnanimity reinforced by the spirit of gratuitous concession as well as avoidance of unnecessary litigation found in the practice suggested by you deserves praise.

Dear Dinesh
An establishment is liable to pay Gratuity under the PG Act on the last salary drawn by an employee.
If the last salary drawn is consolidated one then you are liable to pay gratuity on the consolidated salary.
If the last salary drawn includes the wage components Basic, DA + other allowance then you have to pay gratuity on Basic + DA
