Dear Mr.Quires
You have not indicated the location of your place of work. If it is in Tamilnadu, then for your information the Honourable High Court of Madras has in the case relating to Mettur Beardsell Limited had held that if an employee had completed 240 days in the fifth year of his service with the employer, he is eligible to get gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act. This decision of the Honourable High Court of Madras is binding on all authorities under the Payment of Gratuity Act situated within Tamilnadu. Therefore if your place of employment is within Tamilnadu you can claim gratuity from your employer based on this decision, provided the Payment of Gratuity ACt is applicable to the establishment in which you are employed and to you also.
With regards

Hi, I have a similar case in Gurgaon, HArayana. I have completed 4 years 9 months and 22 days in a MNC which follows Gratuity act. Am I eligible for Gratuity?.
I tried to cite MAdras High court judgment to my HR which clearly interprets the qualifying period mentioned in Gratuity act to be 4 years and 240 days. They say that it is not valid here. Is their any other supreme court judgment in this regard.
Please advise how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.

Yes,
You are eligible for Gratuity under Act. One condition, you have to work minimum 240 days in each year. In certain cases, the leave with wages, National and Festival Holidays also can be considered for calculation of 240 days.

Madras High Court decision is not binding on authorities in Haryana. The view generally taken by employers in other States is that the employee must complete 5 years of continuous service for being eligible for gratuity. Completing 4 years and 240 days service will not entitle the employee to be eligible for gratuity.

Firstly thanks for your insights. I am meeting the 240 day criteria for 5th year for gratuity but my employer says that I have to complete 5 calendar years to be eligible. My company is based in Gurgaon and they are not considering the Madras Court judgement.
Can you please advise how to proceed. How to convince them for my case. At this moment they are absolutely sure that it is five calendar years.
Your inputs would be well apreciated. Thanks
