What this guide covers

Gratuity depends on the applicable law, nature and length of service and the reason employment ended. Fixed-term and other categories may have specific treatment under current rules. Use official law and current labour guidance for the calculation; do not rely on a generic online calculator alone.

What to do now

Request a written gratuity calculation and payment date. Verify service dates and last drawn eligible wages. If refused or delayed, approach the controlling authority or use the official labour dispute channel where available.

Keep these records

Keep appointment and exit letters, service certificate, wage records, nomination, employer calculation, demand and proof of delivery.

Where to go

SAMADHAN lists non-payment of gratuity as a supported grievance category.
