Hi, I joined the current organization (IT services) on the 18th of December, 2006. I have just submitted my resignation and have asked to be relieved by the 16th of November, 2011 (due to date pressures from the new organization that I 'm set to join). Am I eligible to claim gratuity? I see conflicting answers around the 240 days of continuous service conundrum and would much appreciate any clarification you could give around this. I 'm aware that there is a high court ruling (chennai high court) in favor and a Supreme court ruling also in favor. Where do I stand? My company is registered in Karnataka.

Would it help if the engage the services of a lawyer to argue my eligibility? I have seen in some forums where esteemed members have commented that in general companies do not pay if the 5 year service clause is not met, but usually pay if they are taken to court. Does this hold any water?
