Gratuity is not necessarily mentioned in the offer letter. It is an act. When the number of employees crosses the minimum level mentioned in the act, the company automatically will be governed by it.
And when an employee continuously works in the same company for 4 years and 240 days, the employee becomes eligible to exercise the benefits of the gratuity act.

It does not matter whether the payment of gratuity is mentioned in the appointment letter or not. By virtue of statute, an employee is entitled to gratuity if he completes the fixed term as per the act, or dies during service, or on superannuation, as the case may be.
