Frequently asked questions
Why is the gratuity formula divided by 26 and not 30?
Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, a month is treated as 26 working days because four Sundays are excluded as paid weekly off-days. So one day's wage equals the monthly Basic+DA divided by 26, and 15 such days are credited for each completed year of service, giving the (15 x salary x years) / 26 formula.
How are part-years of service rounded for gratuity?
Service is rounded to a whole number of years. If the part-year in your final year is more than 6 months, it rounds up to the next full year (e.g. 10 years 7 months becomes 11 years). If it is 6 months or less, it is dropped (e.g. 10 years 4 months stays 10 years).
