Gratuity act 1972

Sir, you are absolutely right in this view. 

The employer cannot deduct any amount from the employee 's salary towards gratuity payment. 

The affected persons can approach court under the provisions of gratuity Act 

Bro Kalaiselvan 

Thanks. If possible and your time permits,  kindly favour me with any precedent.  vgnath@gmail.com

in the garb of CTC many employers also deduct employer share to be deposited in EPFO/ESI

No deduction or contribution can be made by employer on account of gratuity, however, undoubtly it is part of CTC since employer has to pay on ceasation of employment, if eligible / qualified.  

@Dr. V opinath Sir, 

I will certainly look for any judgment in this regard and send it to your personal email id as and when I lay my hand to one

CTC is rather an invented term; it has no nexus to norms regulating pay/salary.

The issue could be posted in citehr.com for more informed response.

Deduction of any amount in the name of gratutiy is not allowed under the Payment of Gratuity Act unlike ESI and PF.

Even if any amount is deducted, it is illegal and the employee can demand the illegally deducted amount. 

The fact of the matter is that every component of CTC need necessarily be a deduction. Its legal status vis-a-vis salary is  vague.
