What goes into a full and final settlement

Pending salary

Salary for days worked in the final month, plus any prior unpaid months. Computed on monthly gross.

Leave encashment

Unused earned leave days × (Basic + DA) ÷ 30 (or 26). Exempt up to ₹25 lakh lifetime under Section 10(10AA).

Gratuity

(Basic + DA) × 15 × completed years ÷ 26 — payable after 5 years. Exempt up to ₹20 lakh under Section 10(10).

Notice period adjustment

Buyout (employer pays) or shortfall (employer recovers). Indian standard: daily Basic + DA × days.

Bonus & reimbursements

Pro-rata statutory or performance bonus, plus pending expense claims and unclaimed LTA.

Recoveries

Loans and advances, asset value if not returned, training bond (if contractually clear) and notice shortfall.

Legal timeline for F&F payment

Multiple Indian laws set deadlines for the components of an F&F payout.

Component Statutory deadline Source
Unpaid wages Within 2 working days of termination Payment of Wages Act, s.5
Gratuity Within 30 days of becoming payable Payment of Gratuity Act, s.4(2)
PF transfer / withdrawal Within 20 days of employer attestation EPF Scheme, Para 72
Full settlement 30-45 days (industry standard) State Shops & Establishments Acts

Late gratuity attracts simple interest at 10% per annum. Late wages can attract penalties up to ₹20,000 plus repeat-offence consequences under the Payment of Wages Act.

Common questions

What is full and final settlement (F&F) in India? +
Full and final settlement is the complete reconciliation of dues an employer owes a departing employee — pending salary, leave encashment, gratuity, bonus, reimbursements — minus recoveries like notice shortfall and outstanding loans. It must be settled within 30-45 days of the last working day in most states.
How is leave encashment calculated in F&F? +
Leave encashment = (Basic + DA) ÷ divisor × unused earned leave days. Most companies use 30 (calendar days), though some use 26 (working days) — both are acceptable. Up to ₹25 lakh of leave encashment at exit is tax-exempt under Section 10(10AA), per CBDT Notification 31/2023.
How is gratuity calculated for F&F? +
Gratuity = (last drawn Basic + DA) × 15 × completed years of service ÷ 26. It applies only to employees with 5+ years of continuous service (4 years 240 days qualifies under judicial interpretation). Up to ₹20 lakh is tax-exempt under Section 10(10).
Can the employer recover notice period from F&F? +
Yes, if the employment contract explicitly allows it. Recovery is computed as days unserved × daily Basic + DA (or gross, if the contract says so). Without a clear contractual clause, recovery may be challenged.
What is the legal deadline to pay F&F in India? +
The Payment of Wages Act requires unpaid wages within 2 working days of termination. The Payment of Gratuity Act requires gratuity within 30 days. Industry standard for the full F&F is 30-45 days from the last working day. Late gratuity attracts simple interest at 10% per annum.
Is leave encashment fully tax-free? +
At resignation or retirement for non-government employees, leave encashment is exempt up to a lifetime aggregate of ₹25 lakh under Section 10(10AA), subject to additional limits (10 months' average salary, cash equivalent of leave entitlement). Encashment during active employment is fully taxable.
Is this F&F calculator accurate? +
It uses the current statutory rules — Payment of Gratuity Act formula, ₹20 lakh gratuity cap, ₹25 lakh leave encashment cap, FY 2025-26 income tax slabs. Results are close estimates; actual TDS depends on your full-year income and chosen tax regime. For exact figures, consult your HR or a CA.
