‘Congratulations’ is used when we praise or wish someone for an achievement or any other momentous occasion.

Example: Congratulations on getting a raise!

‘Congratulation’ is used to denote the action of congratulating someone.

Example:

1. In congratulation, a surprise party was thrown for the birthday girl.
2. We would like to thank everyone who sent words of congratulation.

To sum it up, when wishing someone we always say ‘congratulations’, but when we talk about the act of E×ρréššing congratulations, we use the word ‘congratulation’.
