15 December 2010 As per the Gratuity Act, an employee is entitled for gratuty only when he cpmpletes 5 years continuous period of service. An employer has to pay gratuity for 15 days for every completed year of service. An employer can pay more but the excess is taxable under Income Tax subject to provisions of Section 10(10)of the Income Tax Act
