Govt Clarifies Gratuity Eligibility Under NPS for Central Employees

The government is explaining how gratuity works for its workers who are under the NPS.

Gratuity is like a bonus paid when they retire or if they die while working.

To get the retirement bonus, you usually need to work at least 5 years.

It's calculated based on your pay.

There's a set amount, but there's a limit to how much you can receive.

If someone dies while employed, their family gets a gratuity, regardless of how long they worked.

If you quit, you usually lose your past benefits, unless you move to another government job or a government-run company, where those benefits are often preserved.
