Gratuity provisions remain the same.
However, with regard to employees on fixed-term employment, the gratuity is payable on the termination of the contract period on a pro-rata basis and not on the basis of continuous service of five years. The amount of gratuity payable to an employee shall not exceed the amount as may be notified by the Central Government (20 Lakhs threshold will be removed); the working journalists’ gratuity threshold period gets reduced from five to three years.
