Dear All, I am seeking your input regarding a case where an employee has completed 4 years and 300 days in the current organization. According to the rules of the Payment of Gratuity Act, an employee must complete 5 years to be eligible for gratuity. However, the employee is claiming eligibility after completing 4 years and 240 days. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this matter.

Dear SGVivek,
For gratuity claim completion, 240 days of actual work have been accepted by the courts. Hence, even though the employee has completed 4 years and 300 days of actual work, he/she will be eligible to claim the gratuity as a lawful right.

I agree with Pradeepan. This information is very important since some of our staff will fall under the category of working for less than 5 years. Is there any notification stating that 240 days can be considered for a claim? Please respond with support for this claim. URGENT PLEASE!!

Can you send the proof of this Supreme Court judgement? It will be beneficial for all. Then the Gratuity rule of completing minimum 5 years of service (365x5 days) has no meaning.

He is eligible as in the Act it is mentioned as "number of years completed or part thereof," which means the number of years completed plus any excess of 6 months will be calculated as 1 year. In the present case, he has completed more than 6 months in addition to 4 years, which is deemed to be 5 years as stipulated in the Act. Hence, he is eligible.

If the employee had service the 300 days continous in the year, he is eligible for Gratuity.
