Case History
Summary: TI Cycles of India v. M.K. Gurumani (C.A. 4461/1996) The Supreme Court allowed TI Cycles' appeal, holding that incentive payments made to workmen under the company's scheme do not constitute "wages" under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, and therefore should not be included in gratuity calculations. The Court found that while incentive was measured by production output (pieces), it was genuinely bonus for extra work, not piece-rate wages, as the scheme's terms explicitly excluded incentive from gratuity entitlements and required direct nexus with extra output.
