Ex gratia-gratuity wheather eligible if it is mention in ctc

The gratuity is paid after completion of 5 years of service only as per the Act. 

Even you left the job before completion of 5 years and your ctc includes amount of gratuity, then you have to forgo it because you had agreed it at the time of joining/appointment. 

any agreement can not superseed the Law.....gratutiy is not ex gratia it is your reward you serve the organization......here you can approach the controlling authority under gratuity act 1972 by filing a complaint before him as your employer mention in your CTC break up as gratuity.

The establishment can provide better terms of gratuity as provided for in the Act. Thus establishment can pay Gratuity even for 2.5Y of service..

There are publications suggesting that establishments advertised for Gratuity for even say; 2Y of service to attract employees…

 

The % mentioned by you is probably for Bonus ( Min.) as per Payment of Bonus Act.

For Ex- Gracia; refer to company’s policy and relate..

There are threads at LCI by employees that succeeded with their own skills when Gartuity was mentioned in CTC..
