Change in monthly Gratuity contribution
Speaking on the New Wage Code impact on central government employees; Kartik Jhaveri, Director — Wealth Management at Transcend Consultants said, "Since, monthly PF contribution and Gratuity of a central government servant is calculated by the basic salary and DA of a central government employee. After the implementation of the New Wage Code, monthly Gratuity contribution is expected to change." However, Jhaveri maintained that currently, central government employees are drawing their monthly salary under the seventh pay commission pay matrix, which is more or less near to the basic provisions of the New Wage Code. So, there won't be much change in the monthly Gratuity contribution but a change under this head of one's payslip can't be rejected.
