7th CPC increased Gratuity Ceiling limit – 20 lakh from 1.1.2016

December 12, 2015 admin 42 Comments

Gratuity Ceiling limit  Increased to 20 lakh from Jan 2016

The 7th Pay Commission recommends increasing the ceiling of gratuity from ₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh, effective from 01.01.2016. The Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare suggests indexing gratuity with the amount of DA admissible at the time of retirement. The Commission agrees and also recommends increasing the ceiling on gratuity by 25 percent whenever DA rises by 50 percent.

Enhancement in the Gratuity Ceiling and its Indexation

The Commission recommends enhancement in the ceiling of gratuity from the existing ₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh from 01.01.2016.

A number of representations have been received by the Commission stating that there is a need to revise the existing ceiling of ₹10.00 lakh with regard to payment of service gratuity.

Analysis and Recommendations : Rule 49 and 50 of the CCS (Pension) Rules provides that a government servant is entitled to get retirement gratuity equal to one-fourth of his emoluments for each completed six monthly period of qualifying service subject to a maximum of 16.5 times of the last emoluments subject to a maximum of ₹10 lakh.

The Commission sought the views of the government in this regard. The Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare stated that the VI CPC has increased the amount of gratuity from ₹3.5 lakh to ₹10 lakh w.e.f. 01.01.2006. This amount, in the view of the department, is not commensurate with emoluments that are available to senior officers at the time of retirement. The department has suggested to the Commission that a view could be taken to index gratuity with amount of DA admissible at the time of retirement.

The Commission notes that there is merit in the argument advanced to index the ceiling on gratuity so that the benefits of the enhanced ceiling are available to personnel in a manner which is more even over a time frame.

The Commission recommends enhancement in the ceiling of gratuity from the existing ₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh from 01.01.2016. The Commission further recommends, as has been done in the case of allowances that are partially indexed to Dearness Allowance, the ceiling on gratuity may increase by 25 percent whenever DA rises by 50 percent.

    With just a day’s difference
    a soldier suffers for 10lakh rupees.

    This is grave injustice to soldiers who retire just few months before the 7cpc.

    This matter needs to be addressed,
    so the soldiers dont feel cheated.

    7th cpc stated gratuity should increase by 25% Whenever Da increases by 50%.

    so dont u think its injust for retiree just before few months to get only 10lakh?

    I am retiring on 31st Dec 2015 hence my gratuty would only be 10 lacs where another person in the same rank on 1st Jan 2016 would get gratuty of 20 lacs…………is this justified………will the pay commission consider this anmoly in gratuty and recommend increase in gratuty in a phased manner I.e increase of 1.lac rupee in gratuty after 1st Jan 2006 per year……….In which case instead of 10 lac I shall get 20 lac and there will be no heart burning…..
