Dear All,
An employee is entitled to gratuity only after serving 5 years of meritorious service. In this case, if he is on the rolls of the company, he should have worked 240 days in a year to be eligible for gratuity for that year. Any service in a year less than 240 days will disqualify him from receiving gratuity. However, the company has the liberty to consider this period.
Thanks,

Dear Seniors,
I need clarity on gratuity. One of my colleagues has resigned recently, with a date of joining on 09.10.2008 and a relieving date of 31.07.2013, which totals 4 years, 9 months, and 22 days. Therefore, I request clarification on whether he is eligible for gratuity or not.
Anticipating your valuable response.

Dear Ravi,
You are advised to see the trailing mail posted by Sh. Mritunjay Nath Sahu where he has nicely explained that an employee borne on the muster rolls of the company should have worked 240 days in a year to enable him to earn gratuity for that year. Any service in a year less than 240 days will disqualify him from getting gratuity.
In view of the above, you need to calculate the number of days you have worked in each of the years, including the last year of your service.

Gratuity shall be payable to an employee upon the termination of their employment after they have rendered continuous service for not less than five years:
(a) on their superannuation,
(b) on their retirement or resignation, or
(c) on their death or disablement due to accident or disease.
It is important to note that the completion of five years of continuous service is not required if the termination of employment is a result of death or disablement. Therefore, the condition of five years of service does not apply in cases of death or disablement.
Even if an employee has worked for 240 days in the fifth year, they are still entitled to gratuity even if they have not completed the full five years of service.
