Dear Pratik.Avhad, Minimum service to get gratuity is five years. Hence you are not entitled to get gratuity. Abbas.P.S

Dear Pratik,

You are entitled to gratuity, as 240 days or more of service in the last year of service is counted as a full year. So, having rendered 4 years & 11 months of service, you are eligible for gratuity equivalent to 5 years of service.

Any employee completing 240 days of continuous service in the fifth year is eligible to receive gratuity. As you have completed 240 days in the fifth year, you are entitled to receive gratuity.

One or two local decisions are there considering the service referred in. As a general gratuity rule one has to complete 5 years .

The 'Gratuity Act' very clearly states that the period of service has to be 5 years. This period of service has to be counted from the starting date of employment to the last day of employment. If this period of service is a minimum of 5 years, then the employee is eligible for gratuity. In case the employee dies during the service period before completing 5 years, gratuity is payable, and the nominees will be the beneficiaries of the gratuity.

In cases where the employee does not work a full year during any of the years while in service, that is, he works intermittently or has taken various kinds of leave with or without pay, or there has been a strike or lockout, if he has worked for 240 days during the year (including eligible leave or holidays, etc.), then that year will be counted as a completed year. If he has worked for a minimum of 240 days per year for 5 continuous years, he is eligible to receive gratuity, provided five years have elapsed from the start of employment to the ending of employment. If the period of employment from start to end is 4 years and 11 months, the employee is not eligible for gratuity.

Its making the discussion full of confusion, as simple as any employee who completes 5 years in service is only eligible to get Gratuity as per Payment of Gratuity Act. Pls refer the Act diligently.
