Dear Sir,
Under Sec. 2 (e) of Gratuity Act define 'employee' means any person (other than apprentice) employed on wages irrespective of status and salary. In that case, what about an employee appointed after 58 years and served for more than 5 years ? or please clarify is it legally correct to appoint an employee after 58 years of age ?
Kindly clarify.

There is nothing to prevent appointing anybody after 58 years of age. if the person works for more than 5 yrs, he should be eligible for gratuity.

Dear Mohan,
There is no issue related to employment with the age of anyone on / after attending 58 years.
If an organization employ anyone on roll as a regular employee, who has already attended 58 years, and that employee works there for 5 years or more than such employee will also be entitled for Gratuity. It is clear in the Gratuity Act in Sec. 2(e), which is also mentioned by you.
Hope this will help you.
