Dear Concerned,
I have a query on Gratuity. An employee's service in our organization is of 8 years. In the last year, his present days are less than 240 days (including Sundays) but has worked for more than 6 months. Now, please let me know, is he eligible for a gratuity of 7 years or 8 years?
Waiting for your revert.
Thanks and regards,

In respect of daily-rated employees, this is okay. However, for regular employees, you have to consider paid days as well when calculating 240 days. Additionally, if there have been any loss of pay leave days, you should also take that into account, provided the LOPs are approved as leaves and not marked as absent without intimation, which may result in disciplinary action against the employee.
Now, if the last year of service is less than 12 months, and even if the employee has worked for more than 6 months, they should still be eligible for gratuity for 8 years.

Mr Madhu is right.Even days of absence not ordered as break in service under sec 2A of Payment of Gratuity Act is considered as continuous service.

Dear Sir,
While calculating the gratuity payment, for a fraction of service in the last year, if the service is more than 6 months, it will be treated as one year. Therefore, if the service is 7 years and more than 6 months, the service for gratuity will be considered as 8 years for the calculation of the gratuity payment.
Thank you.

D Gurumurthy has rightly mentioned that if any employee's joining date to exit date is 7 years and over 6 months, it is treated as 8 years of service. 240 days of a year are calculated for those employees whose joining date to exit date is less than 5 years of continuous service. For example, if an employee has worked for 4 years and over 6 months but not over 240 days, then the said employee is not entitled to Gratuity, to the best of my knowledge.
