Gratuity Trust Management

End-to-End Administration, Funding, and Compliance of Your Gratuity Trust

Gratuity trust management covers the day-to-day administration of an approved gratuity fund, including trustee support, fund accounting, actuarial coordination, investment oversight, and timely payment of gratuity to employees. Sound management keeps the trust adequately funded and fully compliant year after year.

Once a trust is set up through gratuity trust registration and has secured income tax approval, ongoing management becomes the priority. We provide complete trustee and administration support, working closely with our investment support services and annual compliance teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gratuity trust management involve?

Gratuity trust management involves administering the fund on a continuing basis, including accounting, actuarial coordination, contribution planning, investment oversight, record-keeping, and settlement of gratuity claims to eligible employees.

Who is responsible for managing the trust fund?

The trustees appointed under the trust deed are responsible for managing the fund. They often take professional help for accounting, valuation, investment, and compliance so that the trust is administered correctly.

How are gratuity trust funds invested?

Funds are invested in line with the investment pattern applicable to approved gratuity funds. Many trusts also use insurer-managed group gratuity schemes, while others maintain their own investments within the prescribed norms.

What records must be maintained for a gratuity trust?

A gratuity trust should maintain books of account, minutes of trustee meetings, contribution and investment records, actuarial valuation reports, and member-wise gratuity records to support compliance and audit.

How often should the gratuity trust be reviewed?

The trust should be reviewed at least annually, in line with actuarial valuation and financial reporting. Regular reviews help confirm that funding is adequate and that the trust remains compliant throughout the year.
