You are eligible for gratuity if you have - 1. Worked for 240 days in all the last 5 years that you have been in that job, 2. And there has been no break in service - like resignation and then rejoined in a short period etc. For that matter any reason what so ever if you have not worked 240 days in any given year will disqualify you from gratuity.

Yes, had you filled up the form to withdraw gratuity before leaving the company? If no, please contact the HR of your previous company and sort it out.

Dear, as per the rules, you are 100% eligible for service award. Based on your service length in the company I strongly believe you will be awarded 2.5 month (gross salary) out of your total service. Good luck and wait for severance.

Dear Amit,
I am sorry to say that you are not entitled for the payment of gratuity under the Act. you need to complete full terms of Five year. In the last year of your service you need to calculate whether you have completed 240 days. you are not allowed to add your notice period while calculating your entitlement of gratuity.we have lot of discussions on this issue earliar.
I request to members like Kamal not to misguide the members unless you are sure of an issue under discussion. A plain reading of section 4 of the bare Act would have given you exact information.

My dear IR-MANAGER,
You have said the same thing which I have mentioned in my earlier mail.You have said 4 Years & 8 month whereas I have said 4 years and 240 days in the last yearof his service. The main query was whether one is allowed to take into account the notice period while computing period of 5 years, which makes a person eligible to receive the amount of gratuity.The \'continuous service\' has been defined in Section 2A of the PG Act but there is no mentioned of notice period.Considering the above facts, he does not stand qualify for the payment of gratuity under the Act.
