Yes, by law (End of year gratuity act 2001) every employer must pay one twelth of the salary as at December x no. of months that the employee has been in service for that year. This is implied and needs not be mentioned in the contract.

Moreover a contract is null and void if it contains abusive clauses, i.e clauses with are against the interest of the employee and against the minimum guaranteed by law.

Also, it must by law be paid before the 20th of december I think.
