Dear Mr. Satish,
An employee who has completed 4 years and 10 months and left the job will be entitled to get gratuity if he had worked for 240 days in each of the four years and also for 240 days in the ten months after four years.

Dear Mr Dineshpillai If he had worked for 4 years 5 months and 15 days, he would not have completed 240 days during the last year and therefore will not be entitled to get gratuity. With regards

Harikrishnan Sir’s reply is the correct rule. The employee needs to have worked for 240 days in the fifth year to be eligible.

Dear Challagolla,
Any employee who has completed 4 years and 240 days is eligible for gratuity as per the different High Courts and the Supreme Court. 240 days of working in a year make it a whole year of service as per the Law of the Land.

As per the Madras High Court judgment (1998 LLR 1072), if a person works for 4 years and 10 months, he would have completed 5 continuous years of service (assuming he worked for 240 days in the preceding 12 months), and the person would certainly be entitled to Gratuity. In case he is working in an establishment that operates 5 days a week, instead of 240 days, you would need to factor in 190 days as the basis for deciding a completed year of service. Days on which he was sick or on authorized leave would also be counted as days worked. A person having worked for 4 years and six months (less than 240/190 days) would certainly not be eligible for Gratuity.

If he has completed 4 years and 6 months, he is eligible for gratuity. Alternatively, he should have completed 240 days over the past 4 years to be eligible, including the total number of government holidays and week holidays. I hope this information is useful.

Dear Dr. R. Krishnamurthy,
Even in the case of an establishment that is working for 5 days a week, an employee would be deemed to have completed one year of continuous service only if he had worked for 240 days and not 190 days. Factoring in of 190 days is not permissible. Section 2A of the Payment of Gratuity Act, as amended, specifically states which days could be counted for reckoning 240 days and the circumstances in which a particular type of absence would be regarded as a break in service. Section 2A of the Payment of Gratuity Act does not contemplate factoring in 190 days.
