Frequently asked questions
Why 26 days and not 30?
The Act treats a month as 26 working days (excluding weekly offs), so a day's wage is monthly wage ÷ 26 and 15 days' wages = wage × 15 ÷ 26.
Do I get gratuity if I resign after 4 years 8 months?
For permanent employees the 5-year requirement is generally read as 4 years and 240 days of continuous service in some situations, but this depends on the establishment's working pattern and court rulings. Check with your HR or a labour-law adviser.
Is gratuity taxable?
For private employees covered by the Act it is exempt up to the lowest of the amount received, the formula amount and ₹20 lakh. Anything above is taxed as salary.
