Dear Anurao,
As per Sec. 2A of the Act, if you have attended for 240 days for the purpose of "continuous service", you are perfectly eligible for gratuity. You can claim gratuity from your employer.

There was some mis understandings due to one verdict from Supreme court and another one from Madras High Court that if there is an attendance of 240 days in the last year, it will be considered as a full year.
When I went for a detailed study, to my knowledge, after the above judgements the act is amended as under :
1. Minimum eligibility to get Gratuity is 5 years.
2. In the case of permanent employees, for the preceeding 12 months, there should be a minimum attendance of
a) 190 days
i) for those work in Mines
ii) for those work for less than 6 days in a week
b) 240 days in other cases.
i.e 240 days is minimum attendance in 12 months.

the basic condition for the eligibility of gartuity is to complete 5 years.
the rule of 6 months or more will apply for the calculation of gartuity but not for eligibility
so you are not eligible for gratuity

Dear Anurao,
May I request you to please immediately file claim with your former employer for payment of gratuity for services rendered by you for 4 years 11 months and 11 days. The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 is very clear that one has to complete 5 year minimum service for becoming eligible for payment of gratuity. For those who could not complete this provision of 5 years, there are explanations / provisions that period over and above 6 months is to be rounded off to the next full year. The law has sanctity. So have the provisos and explanations too. For getting the benefits in actual, you have to actually file the claim for gratuity. Unless you file the claim for gratuity, the employer is not legally bound to give explanation or pay the gratuity. Once you lodge the claim, the administrative machinery will start functioning and either pay you gratuity or repudiate your claim.
If the claim is repudiated, the employer will give you explanation for his action. We can then discuss the matter in this forum. So please file the claim and intimate us the final result. Lodge claim for gratuity of full year service stating that period of 11 months and 10 days has been rounded off to next full year, total five year service. Ensure that you did not have 'leave without pay' during this period which is not considered as qualified service. Here is also one more explanation / proviso. Leave without pay on medical ground is considered qualified service. Most important factor - is - your gratuity claim filed with the employer in the prescribed form. In the absence of your claim, your eligibility is not sufficient for payment of gratuity. When you get the gratuity, please do remember to inform us on this forum. Thanks and regards,
