You are perhaps referring to gratuity calculation.

Gratuity is calculated at the rate of half a month's salary for every year of completed service in an organization. To earn a gratuity, you have to at least render service for a minimum period of five years.

Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, in India, the fraction 15/26 is applied for every year of service. In other words, a month is considered as having 26 days.

Salary shall generally mean pay and dearness allowance. Maximum gratuity payable shall be Rs. 3,00,000.
