R/Prof.Prashant Shinde,
It is hereby made clear that teachers are not entitled to have gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. If the Maharashtra Govt. have issued any special Instructions in this behalf or your college management have made rules for payment of gratuity then the situation may be different.

Mr.Khola is correct. But very soon, they will be brought under the gratuity act. Pl. see the news article.
The Union Cabinet today gave its approval for introduction of a Bill in this regard in Parliament that will bring teachers in the ambit of "employee" definition. " This will result in coverage of teachers in educational institutions under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, as per a Supreme Court decision," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi told reporters after the Cabinet meeting.

Education institutions are establishments and even come under the definition of commercial establishments. But as of now, teachers are not workmen/ employees under the Industrial Disputes Act. In the similar view, teachers are not employees coming under the purview of Payment of Gratuity Act since teaching is considered as "noble profession". At the same time, all administrative staff members and the Principal of the school or college are 'employees' and are eligible for gratuity.
However, there seems to be different interpretations in some states. The measures to bring the teachers under the Gratuity Act and ID Act are also welcoming because, right now teachers are employees under the Employees Provident Fund Act. They are also covered by Employees State Insurance which was basically meant for 'workmen'. When a teacher is a workman under the ESI Act and EPF Act and when these two central Acts have not considered teachers as doing a "noble profession", why should not they come under the workman of Payment of Gratuity Act?
