For the purpose of computing the entitlement for Gratuity, there is a rule that one has to complete 5 Years of service in the company. While there is a judgement in the High Court of Madras wherein it says 4 years and 240 days of service in the 5tth Year, one would be eligible for Gratuiry. I understand there is a Supreme Court Judgement confirming that the complete 5 Years is not required and 4 Years plus 240 days or 8 months service is enough to get the eligibility for claiming the Gratuity. Can I have the details and if possible a copy of the judgement of the Supreme Court Judgement please?.
Thanks
