dear rajeev
if we will read the act carefully and interpret the definition of continious service than ,yes,240 days makes the completion of one years service concept and if someone completed 240 days in fifth year,gratuity should be given to him.but no one gives it and take benefit of applicablity clause.

Sir,
As per your this post it means Madras High Judgement is correct, and if a persons has worked for 240 days in 5th year then will be eligible for Gratuity. And sir i think Jugdements passed by Hon'ble Supreme Court of India became law by virtue to Article 141 of Constitution of India and have binding effects on all subordinate courts, and also in case of High Courts.
So it became rule but need to notify.

Sir,

As per your post, it means Madras High Judgment is correct. If a person has worked for 240 days in the 5th year, they will be eligible for Gratuity. I believe judgments passed by the Honorable Supreme Court of India become law by virtue of Article 141 of the Constitution of India, with binding effects on all subordinate courts, including High Courts.

Therefore, it becomes a rule but needs to be notified.

Any one please tell, if school did not pay us gratuity then within how much time we can claim. Or go to court. Rajeev

Payment of gratuity for less than 5 years, say 4 years 10 months, the judgment given by the Honorable Madras court with reference to a specific case should be made general through gazettification. Until that time, I feel it would not be applicable generally.

Dear Rajeev,

If your employer fails to make payment of gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act within one month from the date of separation, you may file an application before the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act who shall initiate proceedings by summoning the employer and pass orders in your favour subject to your eligibility.

A company has asked its regular employee to leave. The company has paid a 3-month notice period as per its policy. The employee had completed 4 years and 11 months of continuous service in that company. Will he be eligible for Gratuity? Please share your views, and if there is any ruling on this, also please share. In my view, he should be paid Gratuity.
