Gratuity Rules Clarified for Employee Death and Disability Cases
Revised rules guarantee gratuity payouts for employee death and ensure disability benefits remain accessible under aligned EPS provisions.
The new framework mandates gratuity payment to nominees or dependents if an employee dies during service, even without completing the full tenure. Disability cases also remain eligible under existing EPS provisions. Payments follow a defined priority order, and fixed-term employees are covered. These rules strengthen the financial safety net for families of workers across sectors.
