Gratuity Calculation Formula – Groww uses a proprietary formula that is benchmarked with other similar offerings. The formula used by our online gratuity calculator is: G = n*b*15/26 In the formula, the values are the following.

N/n	The number of years you have worked in the concerned organisation
B/b	Last drawn basic salary plus Dearness Allowance (DA)
G	Gratuity amount you are eligible for

For example, if individual A has worked with an organisation for 5 years, and your basic salary plus DA amounted to Rs.30,000 every month, you are eligible to receive 5*30000*15/26 = Rs.86,538.46 as gratuity. Note that under the existing laws –

Your gratuity cannot exceed Rs.10 Lakh in its entirety. Any amount beyond this upper limit is called ex gratia payment. Also, if you have worked for, say 17 years and 6 months, the figure will be rounded off to the nearest single digit or 18 years.

What are the rules for gratuity in Bangladesh?

The gratuity perplexity: Complication surrounding payment Gratuity, in simple terms, is a form of monetary benefit paid to a worker upon being terminated or retired from employment. The Law Lexicon, Second Edition, has offered a detailed definition of “gratuity” in the following terms: “Gratuity is no synonymous with compensation.

A gratuity is something given freely or without recompense and it cannot be demanded as of right as it does not involve compensation. Gratuity is voluntarily given by way of favour and is an act of grace. Gratuity is not founded on any legal liability but a mere bounty stemming from appreciation and graciousness and therefore, it is capable of being given or withheld at the discretion of the giver”.

The above definition indicates that gratuity is a discretionary monetary benefit offered by an employer as a token of appreciation. In Bangladesh, the provision for gratuity is contained in the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 (2006 Act) and is defined under section 2(10) as wages of at least 30 (thirty) days for every completed year of service and such wages shall be at the rate of the wages the worker received last and where any worker has served for more than 10 years, he shall be paid wages of 45 (forty-five) days.

It is worth noting that completion of more than 06 (six) months of service will be deemed as 1 (one) year. Gratuity is payable in cases of death, discharge, resignation, retrenchment, and termination of employment. Nevertheless, the provisions appertaining the aforementioned circumstances do not clearly spell out as to whether payment of gratuity is mandatory.

As a matter of fact, the provisions have been construed in a manner which makes gratuity baffling, albeit, it is an effortless task to calculate it. The complications surrounding gratuity can be discerned from a perusal of provisions on payment of gratuity.

• An example is section 26 of the 2006 Act which deals with termination of employment otherwise than by dismissal.
• This provision provides that when a permanent worker is terminated, he or she shall be paid compensation at the rate of 30 (thirty) days wages for his every completed year of service or “gratuity”, if payable, whichever is higher.

It further provides that this compensation shall be in addition to any other benefit which is payable to such worker under the 2006 Act. The phrase “if payable” is the root to the gratuity perplexity. The provision only states “if payable” but does not clarify as to when it becomes payable.

1. In practice, gratuity is paid by a company when it has a gratuity fund, whether or not, approved under Rule 58A of Income Tax Rules 1984.
2. However, not all business entities in Bangladesh maintain a gratuity fund and this is due to the ambiguity involved in its interpretation; unless the law mandatorily requires maintenance of gratuity fund, most private entities will be reluctant to maintain it.

Now the question is: does it only become payable when a company maintains a gratuity fund? If so, then this frustrates the effect of the phrase “whichever is higher” as most companies will not establish a gratuity fund for two main reasons: (i) gratuity payment can be more than severance pay; and (ii) it is more easily available owing to the fact that the definition considers service exceeding 6 (six) months to be equivalent to a year of service.

Another interesting aspect of gratuity is that, in case of death, the phrase “if payable” for gratuity is absent: only the phrase “whichever is higher” is used. “If payable” has only been included in cases of discharge, retrenchment, termination of employment by employer, and termination of employment by employee.

It could therefore mean that a dead worker is entitled to gratuity, provided it is higher than compensation, irrespective of whether or not gratuity fund is maintained by the employer. But in other cases, if no such gratuity fund is maintained, the worker would not be entitled to gratuity even if it exceeds the amount of compensation.

This is illogical and bemusing. India has a specific legislation dedicated towards gratuity. It is called the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 (1972 Act). The 1972 Act makes payment of gratuity mandatory but subject to completion of certain conditions. These are simpler conditions and are principally based on an employee’s period of service and the continuity of such services.

The period of service is 5 (five) years as per section 4. This seems fair as gratuity is considered a monetary reward and it would be rational to require an employee to work for a certain period of time in order to establish his or her loyalty towards the employer and receive entitlement to gratuity.

• The 2006 Act was last amended in 2018 and unfortunately, the complication surrounding payment of gratuity remained.
• It is of grave importance that the laws of Bangladesh concerning gratuity are at least as clear as the laws of India on the subject.
• This is because compensation of employees is one of the principal causes of dispute between employer and employee; payment of gratuity being the most debatable issue.

Therefore there is an imminent need for the legislature and/or judiciary to intervene and add certainty. If greater clarity is ensured in the laws appertaining gratuity, this will reduce the potential avenues for raising labour disputes.

What is the Labour law in Sri Lanka?

Termination of employment – There are two acts that talk about termination:

1. The Industrial Disputes Act (IDA)
2. The Termination of Employment of Workmen Act (TEWA).

Both of them talk about a few common points. Basically, you can terminate your employees’: i. With the consent of the employee (e.g. in the form of a resignation) or; ii. With the written approval of the Commissioner of Labour (COL) or; iii. With justifiable cause But what counts as a ‘justifiable cause’? Well, they can include:

1. Misconduct
2. Unsatisfactory performance
3. Persistent and unauthorised absence
4. Abusive/unruly behaviour
5. Dishonesty and theft
6. Intoxication

These reasons are all based on discipline issues. You can also terminate an employee based on non-disciplinary reasons like:

1. Inefficiency/incompetence
2. Breach of contract
3. Conviction of an offence

Remember, these aren’t the only reasons you can terminate your employees for. There are a few more. However, these will give you an idea of what grounds are accepted by law. It’s important to remember your employee can challenge their termination.This means that they can file a case against you at the labour court. If they do, you need to be able to give the courts proof as to why you fired them.

Is gratuity taxable in Bangladesh?

On gratuity scheme and associated income tax benefits This week Your Advocate is Barrister Omar Khan Joy, Advocate, Supreme Court of Bangladesh.

• Query Dear sir, I work in the Human Recourse Department of a reputed multinational company.
• I am not very informed about the gratuity scheme and associated income tax benefits, as I hear different opinions from within my peer group.
• We would appreciate if you can enlighten us on the matter.

Response Thank you for your query. Gratuity is a discretionary monetary benefit scheme offered by an employer upon completion of service of an employee. For every type of separation, the employee becomes entitled to an amount as either ‘compensation’ or ‘gratuity’ (if any), whichever is higher as stated in the relevant provisions under the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (hereinafter referred to as BLA).

1. In case, if an organisation does not have any gratuity scheme, then the employer is liable to pay compensation, as per the BLA at the time of separation.
2. Gratuity or compensation payment shall be in addition to any payment of wage/salary in lieu of notice due to separation of service of an employee on different grounds.

An employee will be entitled to gratuity only when he has been in uninterrupted service for more than 01 (one) year with the organisation. The definition of gratuity stated in Section 2 (10) of the BLA indicates that more than 06 (six) months is considered as a full year.

It is worth noting that completion of more than 06 (six) months of service will be deemed as 01 (one) year from the second year. The amount of gratuity depends upon the duration of service. The amount of gratuity increases with the length of the service of an employee. Gratuity is calculated at the mentioned rate as per Section 2 (10) of BLA on the basis of the employees latest basic wages received for every completed year of service.

Withholding of gratuity payment is permissible only in case of dismissal of an employee for misconduct under Section 23(4) (b) & Section 23(4) (g) of BLA and not otherwise. Gratuity amount taxable or not By adopting a gratuity scheme within an organisation, an organisation can claim tax rebate against the gratuity fund as well as the employee need not pay income tax on the amount either.

It may be also mentioned that as per the Income Tax Ordinance 1984 (hereinafter referred to as ITO), gratuity amount up to BDT 2,50,00,000.00 (Taka Two Crore & Fifty Lac) only is not taxable. However, to avail such income tax benefit, as per Section 2 (5A) of the ITO, the gratuity scheme needs to be recognised by the National Board of Revenue (NBR) in accordance with the provisions of Part C of the First Schedule of ITO.

For such recognition, the organisation needs to create a separate gratuity fund, manage the fund by a board of trustees. In order to do so firstly the organisation has to form a trust and an application is to be made in writing by the trustees to the NBR through a prescribed procedure, along with the copy of the instrument (i.e Trust deed and rules) and other necessary documents as specified in the schedule.

1. The Board, subject to fulfilling the conditions, approves the gratuity fund within 3 (three) months of the receipt of such application.
2. The auditor shall have to audit the fund account annually as per rules of the fund.
3. The fund will be treated completely separate from the fund of the organisation.
4. Hence, as per the provisions of the Schedule, income derived from investments or deposits of an approved gratuity fund and any capital gains arising from the transfer of capital assets of such fund shall be exempted from payment of income tax.

I hope that the above shall help to you to understand the gratuity scheme. : On gratuity scheme and associated income tax benefits

What is the formula for calculating gratuity?

Gratuity Calculator – Calculate Gratuity Online for 2023 The gratuity calculator will calculate the estimated gratuity amount based on the gratuity calculation formula. To calculate the gratuity amount, you would need to input the basic last drawn salary and the tenure of the current service with the organisation.

• The gratuity rules say that there are two main categories to determine the calculation- one for the Employees covered under the Act and the second for the Employees who are not covered under the Gratuity Act.
• 1) For Employees covered under the Act:
• The Gratuity calculation formula that you can use to calculate the Gratuity amount is:
• Gratuity = n*b*15/26
• n denotes the tenure of service an employee has completed in the organisation.
• b denotes the last drawn salary plus dearness allowance.

For instance, you have worked with an XYZ organisation for a total of 15 years. Consider your last basic salary, including the dearness allowance, was Rs.40,000. So, therefore: The amount of Gratuity = 15 × 40,000 × 15 / 26 = 3,46,153 Two points are must be noted that: According to the Gratuity Act, the Gratuity amount cannot be more than Rs.20 Lakhs.

The excess Gratuity amount will be considered as ex-gratia. While calculating the tenure of service, if you have completed more than six months from your previous date of joining, then it is considered a completed year for the calculation of Gratuity. So, for example, if you have worked for 15 years and seven months, you will receive the gratuity amount for 16 years.

But if you have worked for 15 years and five months, then the Gratuity will only be counted for 15 years.2) For Employees not covered under the Gratuity Act: Even if the organisation is not covered under the Gratuity Act, the employees would still receive the Gratuity amount.

1. Gratuity Amount = (15 × 35,000 × 7) / 30 = 1,22,500.
