Dear Member,
It will depend upon whether your company is working for 6 days or 5 days a week. If your company is working for six days, then you have to complete four years and eight months. On the other side, working for 5 days a week, then you have to complete four years and six months to get Gratuity. I hope this is clear.

No. You are not eligible as service period is less than 5 years

Some High Courts, like Kerala and Madras, have held that only 240 days of working in the fifth year are enough to constitute 5 years of continuous service for eligibility for gratuity. In those states where the High Courts have made such a verdict, 240 days in the 5th year are sufficient. However, in other states, full service in the 5th year is required as there is no Supreme Court decision on this subject.
In the instant case, the employee is not eligible.
