There is no amendment in the Gratuity Act to pay gratuity to an employee who worked for 4 years and 240 days. The company can deny payment, and the employee has to seek legal recourse to receive the gratuity amount.

As per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, an employee becomes eligible for gratuity when they have completed five years of service. If an employee has worked for 240 days in a year, that year is considered a complete year. Therefore, since the employee in question has completed four years and 240 days, they will be eligible for gratuity but only after completing a full five years, regardless of whether they work the remaining period beyond 240 days or not.
