This discussion addresses a query regarding gratuity calculation for an employee who resigned after 7 years and 8 months. The core question is whether the gratuity should be calculated based on the employee's full basic salary of INR 11750 or a reduced amount of INR 8225, which the company proposed. Experts confirm that gratuity is calculated using the last drawn basic salary and a standard formula, and suggest the company's attempt to reduce the basic pay for this calculation is incorrect.
