Who this covers
Establishments with ten or more employees, and every factory, mine, port, plantation and railway. Five years of continuous service, waived on death or disablement; three years for working journalists.
Worth knowing
Fifteen days of the last drawn wages for each completed year, a part-year over six months counting as a year, with the month divided by 26. Wages are basic pay plus dearness allowance, but if the excluded allowances exceed half of total pay the excess is added back, so the base is never below half of total pay. The Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 was repealed on 21 November 2025.
