The 3 months of compensation mentioned here - is equivalent only to 1.5 months in any other country. So not overtly generous.

I'm sure their employment contracts mention 1-2 months of salary in event of termination (or a similar notice period in case the employee wants to leave) - so this is not more than committed.

(In India the "Base Salary" component is often 50% of FIXED compensation, not including bonuses. This is done to reduce the statutory requirements on the company, especially in times like this.)

Why?

3 months of salary, to spend in India where things are relatively cheaper, seems like 3 months of Salary to me.


It's 3 months of 'basic pay', which would be half or less than half of the total salary. The rest is divided into so-called perks such as house rent allowance, travel allowance, education allowance, etc., which are partially tax-deductible for employees to various extents.


1.5 months salary is still generous though, no?


Maybe for a developing country. Here in Europe I'd expect 3 months' full salary as a minimum.
