Retirement benefits for loyal employees

A Group Gratuity Scheme is a type of employee benefit plan that provides a lump sum payment to employees upon retirement or resignation, based on their length of service and salary. In this plan, employers contribute to the scheme, and the funds are managed by a life insurer or a trust, and the employees are covered under a single scheme.

It provides a lump sum payment to employees on retirement or after a specified period of service. Under Group Gratuity Scheme, contributions made by employers are tax-deductible.

This plan helps employee retention, attract and retain talent by providing a valuable retirement benefit. Mainly it provides a lump sum payment to employees, helping them meet their financial goals. Employers keep a portion of the gratuity liability funded each year to insurance companies and purchase an insurance policy to cover the gratuity liability. Employers need to ensure sufficient funding to meet the gratuity liability and must comply with relevant laws and regulations, such as the Payment of Gratuity Act.
