Gratuity is an advance payment from pension at the rate of 1/3 of the annual pension at retirement multiplied by a factor of 15 in accordance with regulation 20 of the Pension Regulations of the Pensions Act Cap. 286.

Pension is the periodic regular(monthly) payment made to a retiree who served for at least 10 years prior to retirement or to an officer who retired on abolition of office having been confirmed in the service.  On the contrary, Judges and Justices qualify for pension after serving for 1 year.
