Hi All,
I would like to know what categories or components are included in the salary structure for Gratuity Calculation. Let me elaborate on my question:
Previous discussions on Citehr.com mention that for Gratuity calculation, (Basic + DA) is taken into account. I want to know what will be used for the calculation in companies, mostly private companies, that do not have DA in their salary structure.

My understanding is that while calculating gratuity, Basic Salary + Spl. Allowance + Dearness Allowance (which is Gross Salary) should be included in the calculation. If Dearness Allowance is not provided by the establishment to its employees, then basic Dearness Allowance should be calculated as per the Shop & Commercial Establishment Act; otherwise, it should be calculated as per the standing Government Order. Can someone please help me with this so I can move forward?

Dear Sir,
For calculating gratuity payable under the Payment of Gratuity Act, all emoluments earned by the employee while on duty, including dearness allowance but excluding bonus, commission, house rent allowance, overtime wages, and other allowances, have to be taken into account. If the government has notified minimum wages for the employment in which the employee was employed, then the wages reckoned for calculating gratuity cannot be less than the minimum wages notified by the government. The wage rate payable to the employee will be the wage rate payable to him on his last working day with the employer.

Gratuity is calculated as follows:
Gratuity = (Last basic + D.A) / 26 * 15 * Number of years served.
For example:
Basic = 3500
D.A = 2000
Number of years of service = 7 years
Then, the gratuity is calculated as:
Gratuity = (3500 + 2000) / 26 * 15 * 7
Gratuity = 22211.54

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your guidance. I just have a small query:
We have considered gratuity as Basic + DA. Since we do not have DA as a part of the salary, only conveyance (Rs 800) and Educational allowance (Rs 200), we have calculated it only on the basis of the Basic salary. Can you please guide if this is correct?
Also, the ex-employee has sent a court summons to us. Can you please cite a court order where only basic was used since there was no DA so I can present it before the court if required.
Please guide -

Dear Mr. Pranav,
For computing the gratuity payable, the basic and dearness allowance paid to the employee have to be reckoned. Please read the definition of the term "wages" as defined in the Payment of Gratuity Act. According to this definition, only basic and dearness allowance are to be reckoned for calculating the gratuity payable. Please show this definition to the Authority who has summoned you.

If there has been an increase in salary during the notice period, what should be the basic used to calculate the gratuity.
Resignation date: 14-10-2014
Notice period: 2 months
Last working date: 14-12-2014
I did not receive the salary slip for Dec 2015, which had an increased basic effective from 01 Dec 2015. The calculation for the gratuity was done using the Nov 2015 salary details. The updated basic was reflected only in the Full and Final Settlement (FnF).
So the question is, should the basic salary be considered as per the last salary slip of Nov 2014 (with lower basic) or the FnF (which includes the Dec salary and FnF amounts).

In private limited companies where there is no Dearness Allowance only Basic is used for the purpose of gratuity calculations.

Actually, there are only three components in the monthly salary package comprising of consolidated salary, HRA, and special allowance. In this circumstance, whether special allowance (in the absence of DA) constitutes basic salary for the purpose of the calculation of gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972.

@Panchsen Obviously, only the basic salary will be considered. This is why private companies structure their salary in such a way that the basic component is kept very low, while special allowances make up the bulk of the total salary.
