Sorry, all. Indradeb is applicable for gratuity. First, let me clarify one thing: how many days should we consider as one year? It is 240 days, right? So, in this case, he has completed 4 years and 280 days, making him eligible for gratuity.
For example, in my previous company history, I worked for 4 years and 11 months. Does this mean I am not eligible for gratuity? No, I am eligible for gratuity, and I received the gratuity amount last year. I also have a judgment copy.
Please ensure there is only one line break between paragraphs for better readability.

Dear All,
This has become a classic question among all fraternities of people.
Q. What is the eligibility for Gratuity?
A) Continuous service of not less than five years.
Q. What is continuous service:
A. As per section 2A of the Gratuity Act, continuous service means the following:
Continuous service means a period of uninterrupted service which includes:
1) Employee's all days of physical presence (i.e., when he has attended work/duty)
2) Absence due to sickness
3) Absence due to accident
4) Absence from duties even after exhaustion of all leave (i.e., leave without pay with the approval from management; such absence should not be unauthorized, i.e., on undisciplined grounds like absence without any intimation, abandonment of duties, etc.)
5) Absence due to lay-offs (i.e., when the company lays off employees for their reasons)
6) Absence due to authorized strikes or lockouts
7) Absence due to cessation of work not due to any fault of the employee
Q. How many days make one year of continuous service?
A. Continuous service for a period of one year (12 months) means:
a) 190 days for employees stationed below the ground like mines or
b) 190 days for establishments that work less than 06 days a week
c) 240 days for all other cases (i.e., for all establishments working 06 days a week & above the ground)
B. Continuous service for a period of six months means:
a) 95 days for employees stationed below the ground like mines or
b) 95 days for establishments that work less than 06 days a week
c) 120 days for all other cases (i.e., for all establishments working 06 days a week & above the ground)
C. Continuous service for employees in seasonal employment means 75% of days worked on which the establishment was in operation/working (be it for calculating one year of continuous service or six months of continuous service, it will be seen whether the employee has worked 75% of the total working days of the establishment)
Therefore, please check the following:
1. Whether you work below or above the ground.
2. Your establishment is 06 days a week or less than 06 days.
Then, as per your total years of service, calculate for each completed 12 months the eligibility for continuous service. It should be five years of continuous service & NOW don't get confused about the meaning of continuous service :)
