Employees are eligible for gratuity payments after 5 years of continuous service with a company. Gratuity is calculated based on an employee's last drawn basic salary plus dearness allowance, multiplied by 15/26 and the number of years of continuous service completed. Gratuity of up to Rs. 3.5 lacs is tax exempt. Companies must include gratuity in their HR policies and employment contracts as payment of gratuity is a statutory requirement.
