Group Gratuity Trust Compliance

Stay Compliant with Your Group Gratuity Scheme and Approved Fund Requirements

A group gratuity trust is commonly used by employers who fund their gratuity liability through a group gratuity scheme, often managed in partnership with an insurer. Group gratuity trust compliance ensures that the scheme, the trust, and the approved fund continue to meet all statutory, actuarial, and reporting requirements.

Group schemes need the same discipline as any approved fund, including income tax approval, sound gratuity trust management, and timely annual compliance for the group trust. We help you keep every aspect of your group gratuity arrangement fully compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a group gratuity trust?

A group gratuity trust is a gratuity fund where the employer funds its gratuity liability through a group gratuity scheme, usually managed with the help of an insurer. The trust holds the policy and ensures gratuity is paid to eligible employees.

What compliance applies to a group gratuity scheme?

Group gratuity schemes must meet the requirements of an approved gratuity fund, including actuarial valuation, adequate funding, accurate record-keeping, timely filings, and ongoing coordination with the insurer managing the scheme.

How does a group gratuity scheme differ from a self-managed trust?

In a group gratuity scheme, the fund is typically invested and administered through an insurer, whereas a self-managed trust handles investments and administration directly. Both must comply with approved gratuity fund requirements.

What is the role of the insurer in a group gratuity scheme?

The insurer manages the group gratuity policy, invests the fund, and often assists with valuation and settlement. The trustees, however, remain responsible for ensuring the scheme and trust comply with applicable laws.

What ongoing compliance is required for a group gratuity trust?

Ongoing compliance includes annual actuarial valuation, monitoring contributions and premiums, maintaining member and trust records, preparing accounts, and ensuring all statutory filings are completed on time.
