PAYMENT OF GRATUITY ACT
Gratuity is payable on death even if the 5 years have not been completed.
This is for your information that if employees have not completed their 5 years, they are eligible for gratuity.
On Condition:
If an employee completes 4 years of service and has finished 240 days in the 5th year, then they are entitled to 5 years of gratuity.
Section 4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 provides that an employee will be entitled to gratuity upon completion of continuous service of 5 years. The Andhra Pradesh High Court clarified that the minimum period for eligibility for gratuity should not be less than 5 years, as it must constitute a complete 5-year service. It was further explained that the phrase "or part in excess of six months" is solely for calculating gratuity for subsequent years after the initial 5 years. Additionally, it was ruled that an employee who has worked for 4 years, 11 months, and 10 days is not eligible for gratuity due to not completing 5 years. In a separate case, the Madras High Court, relying on the Supreme Court's clarification regarding 240 working days in a year constituting continuous service, stated that complete 12 calendar months of service are not necessary. The Madras High Court also confirmed that an employee with 4 years, 10 months, and 18 days of service within 5 years is entitled to gratuity.
Case Ref.: Mettur Beardsell Ltd., Madras v. Regional Lab. Commissioner (Appellate Authority under Payment of Gratuity Act), Madras etc., 1998 (3) LLN 414
Further, in a subsequent case, the Madras High Court, referring to the Supreme Court's clarification on 240 working days in a year as continuous service, reiterated that complete 12 calendar months of service are not required. The Madras High Court also affirmed that an employee with 4 years, 10 months, and 18 days of service within 5 years is eligible for gratuity.

Gratuity as Part of CTC
Gratuity is included in the CTC and hence is part of the amount payable to the employee. The company shows gratuity as part of the CTC from day one. Therefore, in all fairness, the gratuity amounts provided during the tenure of an employee who has worked for less than the period required for qualifying for gratuity should be paid to them as an ex-gratia payment by the company. Many companies provide for gratuity only after the completion of 5 years of service and do not make gratuity a part of the CTC.
