I do not have the reference readily available. However relevant section 4 A as appearing in the act is as follows:
Compulsory insurance.

Hi There!
Actuarial certification is part of corporate governance and not mandated by Gratuity Act.If your organization wants to come clean on corporate governance then it should undertake the valuation exercise.Many companies who are seeking external investments are looking for valuation of gratuity fund as it is a part of due diligence company's financial well being.
Thanks & Regards,
