Under the Code on Social Security, 2020, the maximum amount of gratuity payable to an employee is subject to such limit as may be notified by the Central Government. In computing gratuity, the wages payable for the period of service are calculated at the rate of how many days' wages for each completed year of service in the case of a non-seasonal employee?

Section 53 of the Code on Social Security, 2020 governs the computation of gratuity. For every completed year of service, or part thereof in excess of six months, the employer shall pay gratuity at the rate of fifteen days' wages based on the rate of wages last drawn by the employee concerned. In the case of a piece-rated employee, daily wages are computed on the average of the total wages received for a period of three months immediately preceding termination. For seasonal establishments, gratuity is payable at the rate of seven days' wages for each season. The amount of gratuity payable is subject to the ceiling notified by the Central Government, ensuring uniformity in the maximum entitlement.
