Does a small company have to pay gratuity?

The Payment of Gratuity Act applies to establishments with ten or more employees, and once it applies it continues to apply. Below that threshold gratuity is not a statutory obligation, though it can be offered contractually and many employers in Hoshiarpur do.

Where it applies, the calculation is not the hard part. Fixing the wage base and rounding the final part year correctly is where settlements go wrong.

what gratuity is

Can probation be extended?

Only if the appointment letter allows it, and only in writing before the original period ends. An extension issued after the fact is weak, because the employee has a reasonable argument that confirmation already happened.

For companies in Hoshiarpur the cleaner approach is a short written review at the end of probation with one of three outcomes: confirm, extend for a stated period with stated expectations, or separate on the probation notice.

How should a small company explain CTC to a candidate?

With a table, not a sentence. One column for the annual figure, one for the monthly, and a row for each component: basic, house rent allowance, any special allowance, the employer provident fund share, and the estimated deductions. The last row is estimated monthly take home, marked as an estimate because tax depends on the regime and the declarations the employee makes.

Companies in Punjab that do this at the offer stage spend much less time on salary disputes later, and their appointment letters and payslips agree with each other by construction.

What should an offer letter in Hoshiarpur actually contain?

There is no statutory format for an offer letter in India, which is exactly why so many of them are thin. A usable one names the legal entity making the offer, the job title, the reporting line, the work location, the date of joining, the gross annual salary with its components set out separately, the probation length, the notice period on both sides, and a date by which the candidate has to respond. Leave any of those out and the argument happens later, usually at exit.

The component split matters more than the headline number. Basic pay drives provident fund, gratuity and leave encashment, so a letter that shows only a single annual figure tells the candidate nothing about take home pay. Offrd builds the letter from the salary structure you set up once, so the breakup in the offer, the appointment letter and the first payslip are the same numbers.
