to 5 years).
Gratuity = [ (Basic Pay +
Dearness Callowness) x 15 days x Total years of service ] / 26

Example to
Calculate Gratuity: Let your Monthly Salary is 50,000/-, Basic Pay is
13000/- and DA is 5,500/-, then you can calculate your Gratuity Funds as
following below:
Gratuity = [(13,000 + 5,500) x 15 days x 10] / 26
Gratuity = [(18,500) x 150] / 26
Gratuity = 27,75,000 / 26
Gratuity = Rs 106730.769
Demand of the
Union: All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) accepting the maximum
Gratuity limit of Rs 20 lakh but along with this unions demand that the limit
in order to the number of employees and years of service should be removed. It
