Dear Neha ,
For entitlement of Gratuity, 5 years continuos service is must.
4 years 6 months cannot be considered as 5 years. i.e for elibility
For calculation purposes of Gratuity any thing more than 6 months is to be considered as an year. For example if an employee puts in 6 years 6 months and 1 day of service , the gratuity calculation need to be made as if he had put in 7 years of service.
In case of death, the ceiling of 5 years is not manadatory.

Dear All,
I can see may HR faternity posting 5 years is the minimum eligibility for Gratuity. This message is for those who has just referred the books on Gratuity / Bare Acts etc.
Refer the below ruling in the Honourable court of Madras High Court
