Hello All,
A unit including other allowances in the wages for the gratuity purpose but as per gratuity act wages includes only basic+DA.
Now that unit want to go with law and doesn't want to include other allowances.
Whether is it lawful to discontinue other allowances as from many years it was including.

You are already aware that only Basic+DA is considered for calculation of Gratuity.
