HI Anitha,
Since your company started in May 2003, the employees will become applicable to get a gratuity after end of Five years of continous service.
Also tell me your organisation is registered under which act , means factory Act, Shops & establishment etc. You need to see the applicability of the act for your Organisation.
Also u can go through the Gratuity Act for additional information. PF dept will not help you in Gratuity.
Enjoy,

You have to understood the fact that Gratuity is not coming under the purview of EPF Act. It is a separate legislation applicable to all the company having more than 20 employees.
Eligibility of Gratuity will only arise only in case of resignation / termination / discharge of an employee and that too gratuity is eligible only for employee who has completed 5 years of service in a company.
It is based on 15 days salary per year of service. The max amount of Gratuity that one can get is Rs.3.5 lakhs.
More inputs i can share if you require.

Hi Anita,
There is no registration required for gratuity. It is mandatory from the employer to pay the gratuity @ 15 days basic + DA salary for every year of service completion. An employee becomes eligible to get the gratuity once he completes 5 years of service. Even if the employee leaves the company one day before the completion of 5 years, he is not eligible for gratuity.
To maintin this fund, you need to form a Gratuity Trust and the Directors, HR In-charge nd Accounts In-charge may become the trustees.
If you don't want the headache of starting the trust and maintain the fund etc, there are financial institutions, banks, Insurance companies are maintaining the gratuity fund on behalf of the company. You can contact them. If you need any help on good institution for maintaing the fund do let me know, I can help you out by recommending a good company.
Regards,
Umesh.S
Note: May I know your qualification? Because this is one of the act every HR person should know. There are lot of bare act books are available in the book shops with less cost (say Rs.5/- or Rs.10/- per act or combination of labour act within the cost of Rs.50 or Rs.75/-) Please make use of it. Sorry if I have hurted you by saying this.
