Frequently Asked Questions

What are the annual compliance requirements for a gratuity trust?
Annual compliance for a gratuity trust generally includes actuarial valuation of gratuity liability, preparation of trust accounts, audit where applicable, contribution planning, maintenance of statutory records, and timely filing of required returns.
Why is actuarial valuation needed every year?
Actuarial valuation is needed each year to measure the gratuity liability accurately so that the employer can decide on appropriate contributions and ensure the fund remains adequately funded to meet future gratuity payments.
When should annual contributions be made to the trust?
Contributions are typically planned around the financial year and the actuarial valuation, and should be made within the timelines that allow the employer to claim the applicable tax benefits and keep the fund adequately funded.
Is an audit of the gratuity trust required?
An approved gratuity trust generally needs to prepare proper accounts and have them audited. Audited accounts support compliance, strengthen governance, and provide reliable records for trustees and authorities.
