I am working with a private bank since February 2007. Now, I got another offer from a different bank, and they agreed to the notice period of 3 months. So, I will be joining there in January 2012, i.e., I will complete 4 years and 11 months. My question is, am I eligible for gratuity, and if my previous company is not ready to pay me the gratuity, what can I do for the same? Please help me in this regard.

You are eligible for gratuity as you have completed more than 4 years and 8 months. In case the company is not willing to pay you the gratuity amount, show them the judgment copy of Madras High Court which is readily accessible from this site only.

Dear Amitava,
There is a small change to your kind post; please don't mind.
Dear Rekhus,
If your location is different from Tamil Nadu, then the Madras Court is not binding for your "State" where you are currently working. Therefore, I advise you to please complete five years and then leave the job.

I suppose you will be working all through your notice period and will therefore complete 4 years and 11 months. Under these circumstances, yes you are entitled to receive Gratuity. Vasant Nair

Dear Rekhus 2002,
Greetings for the day.
Yes, you are eligible for payment of gratuity because for payment, 4 years + 240 working days should be considered, which you have completed.

Hi!
One of my colleagues is also facing the same problem. She has completed 4 years and 10 months in her last job, but the company is not willing to accept this clause and is refusing to give her gratuity. Can someone provide proof, like a gazette copy, etc., so that she can use it as evidence with her last employer? Please help me so that I can support her, as she is financially very weak.
Thanks in advance.

Dear all,
I'm enclosing the Gratuity Act. Everyone can avail Gratuity benefits only if he/she completes 5 years or more. If anyone resigns within 5 years, no one can avail it.

Hi,
Gratuity can be claimed if the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 is applicable. Then, an employee can claim gratuity under the terms of the employment contract. However, an employee can only claim gratuity after completing five years of service if the Payment of Gratuity Act is applicable.
According to your post, you have not completed five years of service, so you are not eligible for gratuity payment.

Dear Rekhus 2002,
You will be entitled to gratuity on completion of five continuous years of service. In your case, you will be completing 4 years and 11 months. You will be deemed to have completed continuous service of 5 years in terms of Section 2A of the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972. I hope this clarifies any questions you may have.

Dear GRETTAPL,
Greetings for the day.
Ask your friend to get the leave record of himself from the establishment. By doing this, we can determine the working days of the employee for the last 10 months. If he has completed 240 days, he should be eligible for gratuity payment. If the employer refuses to do so, they are liable to be punished.
Thanks & regards,

Dear Sumit Kumar,
Thank you for your reply. Her joining date was 1st September 2006, and her last working day, as per the letter provided by the company, was 15th June 2011. She was on medical (ESIC) leave for 15 days before she resigned. This means she completed 240 days in the 5th year. We require proof to demonstrate her eligibility to her former employer. Whenever she inquires about gratuity, they simply respond that her case has been forwarded to their consultant, and they will take action once they receive a response. They are taking time as she left the job in June, and it is now September.
