We have one employee who has completed 8 years of service and wants to withdraw the gratuity amount for his financial needs. He is ready to give his resignation but wants to join immediately in the same company. How feasible is this as per the law? He wants to resign only for gratuity. Will he be eligible for gratuity if he rejoins again and completes 5 years? Will his PF UAN number be the same if he doesn't withdraw the PF amount after resigning?

Such ideas to circumvent provisions of law are irregular. Management should not encourage such practises. UAN number and gratuity have no connection.
