Hi, I joined my current organization in May 2018 with position A in City A.
In 2022, I applied for an IJP and got transferred to City B with position B since June 2022.
Now, in City A, I had a separate PF account number. In City B, I now have a separate PF account number.
I have completed 5 years in this organization.
Am I eligible for Gratuity if I resign now?
Will I get Gratuity in my FnF once I resign?

Hi,
If both companies are the same (branches) or sister concerns, they should consider your total service period as continuity of service and should consider you for gratuity. I hope you have been issued a transfer order and not a fresh appointment order.
However, as you claim separate PF numbers for companies A and B, it appears they are separate entities under one employer. Your request for gratuity can still be considered by your employer as they are group companies.

I did receive an IJT letter.
Both are different locations under the same organization.
Below is the letter I received during my transfer:
Subject: Lateral Movement

Hi What is IJT? You should be eligible for Gratuity. Probably you could have obtained service continuity letter from Company A for the purpose of Gratuity.

Any Internal Job Transfers should not require a probation period and no need for confirmation of employment as you are already a confirmed employee.
IJT is just a position change and a location change; your EPF number should also remain the same. They mentioned that all employment terms and conditions will remain the same. As it is only a transfer within the organization, your employment tenure will continue, and there won't be any impact on gratuity.

Merely because there was separate PF no. assigned will not deprive you of gratuity, you are eligible to get gratuity reckoning continuous service from 2018.

Since I got transferred in the middle of the month, I also received an FnF calculation from the City A office, which included the calculation of the 15 days I worked in the City A office.
I am confused about whether I will be eligible for Gratuity.

Hi,
To reinstate the same group of companies, they should consider service continuity.
The letter is a bit perplexing. It would be better to obtain a service continuity letter from Company A stating that "for the purpose of Gratuity calculation, your joining date with Company _______ will be considered."

The transfer letter is technically not proper. It should be addressed to the employee instead of "To whom it may concern." Moreover, it has been mentioned that as per the request of the employee, he has been transferred, which indicates that the transfer order is at the request of the employee, and the employer has not initiated the transfer. It is also not mentioned that all other terms and conditions of employment will remain unaltered.
If both organizations have different identities (different balance sheets, etc.), the organization may refuse to pay gratuity. If it is the same organization for all practical purposes, the employee should receive gratuity.

(Fact Checked)-The correct term is IJP (Internal Job Posting), not IJT. You are eligible for gratuity after completing 5 years in the organization, subject to Gratuity Act provisions. (1 Acknowledge point)
