Hello everyone,
I have completed 4 years and 7 months of service with one of the IT companies. Am I eligible for gratuity? Details are:
- DOJ: 1st July, 2008
- Last date: Jan 31st, 2013
- Notice Period was from Dec 31 to Jan 31.
Am I eligible for gratuity? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, Bhandhavi for replying back. I was working in Bangalore, i.e., Karnataka. Any help/guidance would be appreciated. My office people said only when I complete 4 years and 8 months, I would become eligible.

Dear Ashima,
The Act states that a fraction of a half day should be considered as a full day, and less should be omitted. If you have completed 4 years and 6 months, it means you have completed a fraction of a half year, so it will be treated as a full year. This means 4.6 equals 5 years.
Suppose you have completed 4 years and 3 months, then you have not completed a fraction of a year, which means it's less than a fraction of half, so it should be omitted. This means 4.3 equals 4 years.
Therefore, you are eligible for gratuity.

Hi,
Does it apply in Noida as well? I have worked from 1st June 2007 to 11th January 2012, and my company was a 5-day working organization. Am I also eligible for the gratuity? However, my company policy stated it for 5 years.
