2. It's 4.8 M - (30 days * 8 M = 240), but it shows 4.9 M in many places. Which is correct?

HC) : 1999 II LLN 262 : 1999 LLR 576, the Honorable Court held that while determining continuous service of an employee, cessation of work on weekly or national holidays shall also be included, as the cessation of work on such days is not due to any fault of the employee.

Gratuity in CTC may be shown as a cost to the company towards the employee, but there is no deduction made from the employee's salary on account of gratuity. It is a statutory benefit which the employer is required to pay to employees who have completed 5 or more years of service with the organization. For the purpose of calculating, the employee has worked for the full year, 240 days worked is the criteria. The gratuity is calculated at 15/26 x Basic salary x Number of years of completed service.

If the employee leaves before 5 years, the employer is not obligated to make any payment towards gratuity.
