THE PAYMENT OF
GRATUITY ACT, 1972
Gratuity is a kind of retirement
benefit,
like provident fund or pension.
•It is a payment intended to help
the
employee after his retirement. The
general principle underlying gratuity
schemes is that by faithful service over a
long period the employee is entitled to
claim a certain benefit. Thus it is earned
by an employee as a reward for long and
meritorious service. The Act was passed
in 1972 by parliament. It has been
amended to keep up with the times.

IRLL - Labour Laws

OBJECTIVE
•Prior to 1972, various states had
enacted their own gratuity laws. It
became necessary, therefore, to have a
Central Law so as to ensure a uniform
pattern of gratuity to the employees
throughout the country. (Also, to avoid
different treatment to the employees of
establishments having branches in one
or more states).
04/25/09

IRLL - Labour Laws

COVERAGE
•The Act provides for a scheme of
compulsory
payment of gratuity by managements o
f

factories, mines, oilfields, plantations, ports,

railways, shops and other establishments
employing 10 or more persons in the event of
super-annuation, retirement, resignation and
death or disablement due to accident or
disease. In case of death of the employee,
gratuity payable to him will be payable to his
nominee or if no nomination is made, it will be
paid to his heirs.
04/25/09
16
AMOUNT OF GRATUITY
•It is calculated at the rate of 15 days
salary
for every year of completed service, subject to
a maximum of Rs. 3,00,000. 15 days salary is
calculated on the basis of a 26- day month.
•The employer should arrange to pay
the
amount of gratuity within 30 days from the
date it becomes payable to the person to
whom the gratuity is payable.
04/25/09

IRLL - Labour Laws
FORFIETURE OF
GRATUITY
•The gratuity of an employee,
whose
services have been terminated for any
act, willful omission or negligence
causing damage or loss to, or destruction
of, property belonging to the employer,
shall be forfeited to the extent of the
damage or loss so caused.
