KUMARAMANGALAM: I beg to move <\/a>:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That the Bill further to amend the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, as passed by Rajya Sabha, be taken into consideration.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>As the hon. Members will be aware, the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 provides for a scheme for payment of gratuity to the employees employed in factories, mines, plantations, oil fields, ports, railway companies, shops and certain other establishments and for matters connected therewith.\n<\/p>\n<p>Under the Act, gratuity is payable in the event of superannuation, retirement or resignation from service subject to completion of five years&#8217; service. The completion of five years&#8217; service, however, does not apply in the case of termination of employment due to death or disablement. The employees in the non-seasonal establishments are entitled to gratuity at the rate of 15 days&#8217; wages for every completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months, while the employees in seasonal establishments are entitled to seven days&#8217; wages as gratuity for each season. Payment of gratuity is further subject to a ceiling of Rs.1,00,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>Demand for revision of this limit has been raised on behalf of the workers from time to time. Various suggestions and recommendations made in this regard were considered and it was initially proposed to enhance the ceiling on the maximum amount of gratuity from Rs. One lakh to Rs.2.50 lakh and a Bill was accordingly introduced and the Standing Committee on Labour and Welfare examined the Bill and recommended that the ceiling on the maximum amount of gratuity should be further enhanced from Rs.2.50 lakh to Rs.3.50 lakh. The Government has since accepted the recommendations of the Committee and it is now proposed to enhance the ceiling on the maximum amount of gratuity from Rs. One lakh to Rs.3.50 lakh.\n<\/p>\n<p>This is, in short, the amendment proposed through this Bill. I hope the hon. Members will welcome the proposed amendment which is of non-controversial nature. With these words, I commend the Bill for the consideration of the House.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=MR.%20CHAIRMAN%3A%20Motions%20moved\">MR.

I welcome the Bill moved by the hon. Minister. My only suggestion to the hon. Minister is that this amendment which is being made through this Bill should be given effect to retrospectively. The hon. Minister is aware and the House is aware that for the Central Government employees, this was given effect to from 1.4.1995. For the public sector employees also, this may be given effect to from the same date <\/p>\n<p>This demand to enhance the gratuity limit of all the workers, the staff and also the managers has been long-standing. After a long gestation period and after a long cry this has come before the House now. This is a welcome step and so, I am not opposing this amendment. My only request is that the hon. Minister should give effect to this amendment retrospectively, that is, from 1.4.1995, so that some more people would be benefited.\n<\/p>\n<p>With these words, I support the Resolution.&#8221;&gt;

href=\"\/search\/?formInput=SHRI%20P.R.%20KUMARAMANGALAM\">SHRI P.R. KUMARAMANGALAM<\/a>): Madam Chairperson, I am obliged to the hon. Members who participated in the discussion, especially the hon. Member Mohan Singhji, who moved the Statutory Resolution, though I suppose he moved it for the sake of opportunity rather than objecting to the Ordinance. It is relevant for me to bring to the notice of the Members, through you, that under the Payment of Gratuity Act, the service conditions&#8217; requirement is five years. Under the eligibility condition, even the casual contract workers are also covered. I repeat that the casual contract workers are also covered. The calculation system is based on pay plus D.A. The gratuity is payable even on dismissal except, of course, on grounds of moral turpitude. The Bill proposes to raise the limit from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 3.5 lakh and not from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1 lakh. The limit has been raised from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 3.5 lakh.\n<\/p>\n<p>The real problem is about the date. The Central Government employees had their raise, first time, effective from 1.4.1995 from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 2.50 lakh. Then, they got, after the Fifth Pay Commission Report, another increase up to Rs. 3.5 lakh. It is necessary to bring some history to the notice of the hon. Members. Last time, when the Central Government employees got a raise from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1 lakh in 1986, the industrial employees finally got it only in May 1994 to the level of Rs. 1 lakh. This time, we have a situation where we have moved quickly, within a couple of months, to the level of Rs. 3.5 lakh. But at this Rs. 2.5 lakh level, we really find that we were two and a quarter years behind. We have improved in our response. But the real critical problem is that we cannot amend the Act twice for two different levels. We cannot have Rs. 2.5 lakh level for a year and a half or two years and then have another Rs. 1 lakh after that. Then, we should have brought in two Ordinances. This is the critical situation. Therefore, we have actually taken the date of the Ordinance last time, that is, September 1997 and not the Ordinance now issued. Repromulgation of the Ordinance is not the date that we have taken. We have taken the original date of September 1997.\n<\/p>\n<p>I would request that this may be passed. I do believe that we should have a look at the system whereby this disparity that is constantly coming up between the industrial workers and the Central Government Employees on gratuity is sorted out and these problems do not go on continuing on a long-term basis.\n<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Member Rawatji raised the issue of having a comprehensive law for looking at such social security schemes. I must assure him that a Task Force on social security has been set up to examine and review all the social security schemes and we will take urgent steps in this regard.\n<\/p>\n<p>With this short reply on my part, and this is a Bill which is acceptable to all, in fact, long overdue, I will request this House to take this Bill into consideration. Thank you.\n<\/p>\n<p>I would also request the hon. Member, Shri Mohan Singh, to withdraw his Statutory Resolution in the light of the Bill and the assurances that I have given. \u0936\u094d\u0930\u0940 \u092e\u094b\u0939\u0928 \u0938\u093f\u0902\u0939 : \u0938\u092d\u093e\u092a\u0924\u093f \u092e\u0939\u094b\u0926\u092f, \u092e\u0948\u0902\u0928\u0947 \u0936\u0941\u0930\u0942 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0939\u0940 \u0915\u0939\u093e \u0925\u093e \u0915\u093f \u092e\u0947\u0930\u0940 \u092e\u0902\u0936\u093e \u0907\u0938 \u0935\u093f\u0927\u0947\u092f\u0915 \u0915\u093e \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0938\u094d\u0924\u093e\u0935 \u0915\u0930\u0924\u0947 \u0939\u0941\u090f \u0915\u094b\u0908 \u0935\u093f\u0930\u094b\u0927 \u0915\u0930\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u0940 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u092e\u0948\u0902\u0928\u0947 \u0907\u0938 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0938\u094d\u0924\u093e\u0935 \u0915\u094b \u092e\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0930 \u092c\u0939\u0938 \u0915\u0947 \u0932\u093f\u090f \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0938\u094d\u0924\u0941\u0924 \u0915\u093f\u092f\u093e \u0925\u093e \u0914\u0930 \u092e\u0948\u0902 \u0906\u0926\u0930\u0923\u0940\u092f \u0938\u0926\u0928 \u0938\u0947 \u0907\u0938 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0938\u094d\u0924\u093e\u0935 \u0915\u094b \u0935\u093e\u092a\u093f\u0938 \u0932\u0947\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u0940 \u0905\u0928\u0941\u092e\u0924\u093f \u091a\u093e\u0939\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0942\u0902\u0964\n<\/p>\n<p>MR.
