Actually, many companies did not provide the benefit of gratuity to the employee because the employee had selected the option of retirement at 62 years.

What is gratuity?

Gratuity is given by the company to its employees. When an employee works in the same organization for 5 years, he gets gratuity as a mark of gratitude. The benefit of gratuity is available to all government employees as well as private employees.

The Payment and Gratuity Act is applicable on all the companies, factories, mines, oil fields, ports and railways of the country. At the same time, even if more than 10 people work in a company or shop, they still get the benefit of gratuity.

When is gratuity received?

Employees become eligible to receive gratuity after working in any organization for 5 years. But in some cases this time limit is less. According to Section-2A of the Gratuity Act, if an employee works in an underground mine, then he can avail the benefit of gratuity after completion of 4 consecutive years and 190 days.

Whereas in other organizations, gratuity is given only after 4 years 240 days (i.e. 4 years 8 months). The benefit of gratuity is available after leaving the job or after retirement. You cannot take advantage of this while working. You get this benefit when you resign from the company.

Let us tell you that notice period is also counted in gratuity. Actually, notice period also comes under ‘continuous service‘.

How is gratuity calculated?

You can calculate gratuity very easily. You can easily calculate gratuity by adding basic salary and dearness allowance x (15/26) x (number of years worked).

Will the court’s decision prove to be a blow to the Khattar government?

This decision of the High Court has come at a time when less than a year is left for the assembly elections in Haryana. This decision is being seen as a big setback for Manohar Lal Khattar’s government.

This Act, passed by the Haryana Assembly in November 2020, received the assent of the Governor in March 2021. The law was seen as the brainchild of the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), an ally of the BJP in the state and whose leader Dushyant Chautala serves as the Deputy Chief Minister of Haryana. The promise of reservation was also prominent among the promises made by Chautala before the 2019 assembly elections.

Gurugram Industrial Association and other companies had filed a petition

Gurugram Industrial Association and other employer bodies had filed a petition in the High Court against this law of Haryana . The petitioners had argued that the concept behind the law violates the constitutional rights of employers. He had also said that this Act is against the principles of justice, equality, liberty and fraternity enshrined in the Constitution.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court had stayed the Act in February 2022, but a few days later, after the appeal of the Haryana government, the Supreme Court canceled the High Court order.

The Supreme Court had asked the High Court to take a decision on the petitions soon. While hearing the petitions on Friday (November 17), the bench of Justices GS Sandhawalia and Harpreet Kaur Jeevan declared this law unconstitutional and canceled it.

Government Pension Scheme: After retirement, people expect pension. Although it is not so easy to get pension in private jobs, but there are many schemes from the government, from which pension can be obtained. EPFO also gives pension facility to private job seekers. However, for this some rules have to be followed. At the same time, the tenure of some years also has to be completed. In such a situation, let us know how you can take advantage of pension from this scheme.

EPS (Employees Pension Scheme)

EPS is a scheme of Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), whose objective is social security. This scheme is for the pension of the employees working in the organized sector after their retirement at the age of 58 years. At the same time, the benefit of this scheme can be availed only if the employee has served for at least (continuous or non-continuous) 10 years. That is, under this, the employees should have a job of 10 years. If there is a gap in the middle of the job, then that gap should be removed and there should be a job of 10 years.

Eligibility for EPS

Employees have to fulfill these qualifications to avail pension under the Employees’ Pension Scheme.

Become an EPFO ​​member.

Tenure of 10 years with active contribution to EPF pension scheme.
– Be 58 years of age or more.
– Must have attained at least 50 years of age for withdrawal from EPS pension at the reduced rate.

Do not change UAN number

On the other hand, if there is a change in job, then the employees will have to take care that they do not change their UAN number when they move to another company. Employees will have to keep their UAN number the same as it is. The 10-year tenure of the employee will also be counted on the basis of the UAN number.

This is how you will get pension after leaving the job

On the other hand, if the employees leave the job completely and their tenure is 9 years and 6 months, then it will be considered as 10 years but if the tenure is less than 9 years and 6 months, then in such a situation the employee can withdraw the pension even before the age of retirement. Because they are not entitled to pension due to lesser years.
