I have gone through a few articles on the internet and found that 4.6 years are enough for an employee to be eligible for gratuity payment. In my case, I have completed 4.6 years + 1 day (7th October 2019 to 8th April 2024) at CGI, and I'm eligible for gratuity payment.

No, the continuous service for entitlement of gratuity is five years. However, since one year is considered continuous if the employee has worked for at least 240 days above the ground or 190 days below the ground (of a mine) or in an establishment that works for less than six days in a week, there are court interpretations (including one from the Kerala High Court) that state working for 240/190 days in the fifth year will make an employee entitled to gratuity. The fraction of a year of more than six months applies only for the computation of gratuity and not for eligibility. Therefore, any fraction of a year more than six months will be rounded off to one year, and gratuity will be calculated accordingly.

As per the Gratuity Act, whoever completes 5 years in the same company will get gratuity. However, as per the judgment of the Hon'ble Madras HC in the Salem textile case (2011), it was ordered that an employee would be eligible for gratuity even if he has completed 4 years and 240 days.
If you have completed 4 years and 180 days, you are not eligible for gratuity.

I check with company and they said I missed Gratuity by 5 days short. Is there someway to ask company to release gratuity. Actually missing by 5 days is something very depressing.

If you had worked for 4 years and 240 days in the fifth year you can claim it through the Controlling Authority.

The eligibility is five years of continuous service. In your case, it is not standing at all. Still, you can claim from your employer by making an application. If they don't pay, you can file a case before the court to claim. There is nothing bad in making an application in such a claim. It should not be the case that the case amount surpasses the receiving amount!
