Dear Sapna,
In addition to my friend Telikepalli's reply, I shall give the details on calculation of Gratuity.
For gratuity calculation, the formula is Number of years of service x last drawn salary x15 /26.
1. Number of years of service : If the service comprises of completed years and a fraction of year, the fraction has to be rounded to full year. i.e. If the fraction is 6 months or below, it will be rounded down. And if it is above six months, it will be rounded up.
2. Last drawn salary : Practically it is advisable to take average salary of preceeding twelve months.
For eg : Let the service as 5 years and salary as Rs. 26,000.
Gratuity calculation is = 5 x 26000 x 15/26 = Rs. 75,000.
Note : Now the ceiling limit for gratuity is Rs. 10,00,000. But if employer wish, he can give above Rs. 10,00,000. But as per section 10(10) of Income Tax Act, tax exemption is limited to Rs. 10,00,000. After 5 years if you continue for 6 months and one day in service, you will be eligible to get 6 years' gratuity.

As per the Gratuity Act, one has to complete 5 years of service to be eligible for gratuity. You said that you have completed 4 years and 9 months.
As this juncture, if you leave your organization, you are not entitled to receive gratuity. It is upto you to postpone your decision of changing your job.

Dear Sapana,
I would like to inform you that if you have completed 4 years and 9 months in the job, you will be entitled for the gratutity becoz the as per the act there should be continuation of service for 5 years and for computation of continuation of service if in the fifth year if you have worked for 240 days you are entitled no need to completed five years. Once u complete the 240 days in the fifth year of service you will be entitled for the gratuity provided you have workerd in continuation since joining the organisation and there is no break. So many people have confusion about completing five years but have to read section with definition of continuation service.
Hope this have clear you doubts and if have good opportunity can move ahead in life without worrying about gratuity.
If any queries can revertback to me
