Salary definition for gratuity calculation clarified: periodic pay counts, allowances excluded; year means calendar year. Salary for clause (10) means periodical payments by an employer to an employee as compensation for services; allowances, perquisites, bonus or gratuity are excluded unless an allowance is merged into salary. The word year (except in 'year of completed service') denotes a calendar year (January-December); 'each year of completed service' means successive twelve-month periods reckoned from the date of joining, so averaging periods refer to calendar years immediately preceding the year of payment.
