The Madras High court order of 1996 says

'Continuous serVice' - Qualifying period
of service by an employee - Entitlement of Gratuity - An employee rendering continuous service for a period of 240 days in a year will be deemed to have continued in service for 'one year as stipulated by section 2A of the Act -Thus an employee who has P.ut in service for 10 months and 18 days for the fifth year subsequent to first 4 years should be deemed to have

The order states 240 days of service in a year and also, 10 months and 18 days in the fifth year subsequent to previous four years as eligible for gratuity.
Request the experts to enlighten the above.
Best Regards
