Percentage of gratuity?
The percentage of gratuity can vary in different parts of the country. Many people pay a 15 percent gratuity while in bigger cites people pay 20 or 25 percent. Unless a restaurant adds the gratuity to the bill, it is the choice of the customer as to what they pay.
Do you need a separate bank account to disburse the gratuity?
No. There is no such requirement. Gratuity can be paid into your existing bank account itself. If you do not have a bank account already, in that case you may need to open one in order to get the gratuity disbursement but if you have one you can use it.
Can Gratuity be taxed?
Yes. Gratuityup to a maximum of Rs.3.5 lacs is tax free. Any amount above this is taxable However if an employee is eligible for a Gratuity amount of Rs. 2.9 lacs as per the Gratuity formula, but the employer decides to pay him/her Rs.3.25 lacs the amount above the actual eligible amount i.e., the amount above Rs.2.9 lacs is taxable.
