The establishment of the 8th Pay Commission, which will take effect in 2026, was recently announced by the Modi administration. This commission’s goal is to update government employees’ and retirees’ pay and benefits. In addition, on April 1, 2025, the new Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) will go into effect. The gratuity will also be impacted by all of this.
In actuality, a gratuity is a sum of money given by the employer to a worker in appreciation of his long-term contributions. When a person works consistently for a long period of time in a company, he receives this kind of incentive. An employee must have worked for a company for at least five years in order to be entitled for a gratuity under Indian labour legislation.
Worked for four years and eleven months with the company.
Even though he is less than a month away from reaching five years, an employee who has worked for a company for four years and eleven months is not eligible for a gratuity. However, the rule states that an employee will receive a gratuity for four years and eight months of service, which is equivalent to five years. However, an employee does not receive a gratuity if he works for 4 years and 7 months or less; his service period is only counted as 4 years.
How is the gratuity determined?
The base salary and years of service of the employee are typically used by the firm to determine the amount of the gratuity. As long as the employee has worked for the company for at least five years, it is awarded when he retires or resigns. In addition, an employee is entitled to a gratuity in the event that he is abruptly sacked. To calculate the gratuity, use the following formula: Gratuity = (Last pay × 15/26) × Number of years of finished service.
In its report, the RBI stated that it is continuously working to develop quick payment systems with other nations by connecting UPI in an effort to accelerate cross-border payments. According to the RBI, issues like high costs, slow speeds, restricted access, and a lack of transparency in cross-border remittance payments can be fixed with this kind of connection. In February 2023, Singapore’s PayNow and India’s UPI were connected.
