Gratuity eligibility - 4 years 3 months + 6 months training

I completed 4 years 3 months + 6 months training of service and resigned from the company. Will I be eligible to claim complete gratuity?

If any circular or law is there, please let me know. I am from karnataka.

With regard to gratuity, there is a difference between an "apprentice" and a "trainee". If you are an "apprentice" as per the definition under the Apprenticeship Act, then your training period is not included in calculating the entire service period. But if you are a "trainee", then you can file a claim for including the training period in the entire service period, subject to the provisions of your employment agreement/ appointment letter.

Yeah my training period is actually probation period not apprenticeship. Will I be eligible then?

The facts posted suggest that you are eligible. You may post the query in citehr.com for more informed suggestions.

You are eligible for gratuity, if your employer falls within the ambit of Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972
