hi

here is Gratuity Scheme of LIC from site <link no longer exists - removed>

see this site for more information,

Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, it is employers statutory liability to pay 15 days salary (15/26 of a month's wages) for every completed years service to each of his employees on their exit, for any reason after five years of continuous service, subject to maximum limit of 3.5 lacs. Higher benefits can be paid if the employer so desires. Gratuity payable to the employees can be paid as and when liability arises and can be claimed as deductable expense under P & L A/c of the relevant financial years. However, the sound system of financial management envisages providing for Gratuity liability every year and claiming the tax benefits as it is mandatory as per Accounting Standards 15 (AS15) to account for the liability on Actual basis. This can be done by creating a Trust, managed privately or by LIC and paying the amount to the Trust every year. In case of Privately Managed Trust, investment of funds will have to be done as per Income-Tax Act, by the trustees and entire administration of the Trust including Actuarial Valuation will be the responsibility of the Trustees. In case of LIC managed trust, the job of investment and actuarial valuation is taken over by the corporation free of charge and in addition, interest is paid by the Corporation on the accumulated funds.

LIC give below the details as to how the Group Gratuity (Cash Accumulation) Scheme provides for a convenient mode of funding the statutory obligation of an employer under the payment of Gratuity Act:

Benefits to employees Employer's initial and ordinary annual contribution are not treated as taxable perquisites.

Gratuity is salary and hence taxable, it is taxed under Sec. 17(i) (iii).

Gratuity is tax free upto half month's average salary (of last 10 months) for each year of service, subject to a maximum of Rs. 3.5 lakhs as per Sec. 10(10).
