- The Payment of Gratuity Act provides for payment of gratuity to employees working in factories, mines, oilfields, plantations, ports, railways, shops or other establishments. It applies where 10 or more persons are employed.
- Gratuity is payable to an employee after 5 years of continuous service on superannuation, retirement, resignation or death/disablement. Completing 5 years is not needed if termination is due to death/disablement.
- Gratuity is calculated at 15 days wages for each completed year of service, with the maximum being Rs. 10 lakhs. The employer must determine the gratuity amount and notify the employee and controlling authority within 30 days.

There is ambiguity around whether allowances beyond basic wages should be included in PF contribution calculations.
Gratuity is a reward provided by employers to employees in the form of money upon termination of employment for past services. The Payment of Gratuity Act of 1972 applies to establishments across India except Jammu and Kashmir with 10 or more employees. Employees are eligible for gratuity after 5 years of continuous service. Employers must determine gratuity amounts and provide notice to employees and authorities within 30 days.
