The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the Government. The obligation of the company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further legal nor any contractual obligations.
Gratuity
The Gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan, that provides For a lumpsum payment at the time of separation; based on scheme rules. The benefits are calculated on the basis of last drawn salary and the period of service at the time of separation and paid as lumpsum. There is a vesting period of 5 years.
(i) Risk Exposure
The Company is exposed to the following risks that affect the liabilities and cash flows,
1. Interest rates risk : the defined benefit obligation (DBO) calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
2. Demographic risks: this is the risk of volatility of results due to unexpected nature of decrements that include mortality attrition, disability and retirement. The effects of these decrement on the DBO depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate, and vesting criteria and therefore not very straight forward. It is important not to overstate withdrawal rate because the cost of retirement benefit of a short caring employees will be less compared to long service employees.
Actuarial Risk:
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons Adverse Salary growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption than the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
(x) Key Assumptions
One of the principal assumptions is the discount rate, which should be based upon the market yields available on Government bonds at the accounting date with a term that matches that of the liabilities.
Actuarial Assumptions:Salary Escalation:
In projecting the salary increases there are three factors to consider - first is inflation level leading to a general change in salary level. The other two are career progression of the employees & productivity gains for the organisation. Where appropriate the salary increases, a periodic salary experience study with the Company's data will be conducted as an input for the Company, when setting the assumption.
Demographic Assumptions:For Attrition / withdrawal
Withdrawal rates, both at early durations of service and near retirement date, not only have a significant impact on estimates of 'liability' and 'contributions' (more than of mortality in service) but are most difficult to estimate. The past may not be a guide to the future. Even if the past experience can be statistically analyzed and produce some meaningful rates, the future experience of withdrawals will depend on general economic conditions as also the particular conditions affecting the given employer's business. Furthermore, withdrawal rates differ significantly from scheme to scheme and within a scheme from year to year. We examine these rates and any other information available and use best possible judgment to cater to the long term nature of the actuarial estimates being carrying out.
