Gratuity eligibility - 5 years or 4 years 240 days

As per Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, any employees become elegible for the gratuity when he has completed five years service. The employee who has worked for 240 days in a year, then a year is treated complete year. Since the employee has completed four years and 240 days, he/she will be elegible for gratuity but after the completion of five years whether works for remaining period beyound 240 days or not.

Thank you so much sir.  So in my case am I eligible sir. I was with the company for 4 years 249 days. this includes leaves and Week Offs. (with 5 working days per week).

Hi All,

This is Kumar, I have completed 4 yrs 253 Days in my previous Origination, I have joined on 23-Nov-2009 and my last date in my previous org is 01-Aug-2014. And working days in week are 5 days. My Previous Org located in Mumbai. And I have verbal communication with my HR team regarding gratuity, they told me that I am not eligible for the gratuity for the same period of 4 yrs 253 days. What they saying is that I have to complete full 5 yrs in the org then only I will be eligible for the gratuity. mean while I will take Mail communication for the same too later.

1. If the previous org will conform in mail saying that I am not eligible for gratuity, what I need to do shell I file case in court, how and where I need to reach either Mumbai (my previous org headquarters in Mumbai)  OR in Bangalore where I am working?

2. If the previous org is not wants to conform me in mail regarding I am NOT eligible for gratuity, what’s my next step?

Thanks In advance.

Hello sir,

i joined in a s/w organisation in 24/05/2010 which has 5 working days in a week.

According to the law am i eligible to get gratuity after 1/12/2014 (190 days rule) or after 20/1/2015 (240 days rule)? Is those days mean continue working of 190/240 days excluding saturday, sunday and holidays or including those. Please help me as i am planning to leave my company soon.

Again if i am resigning after eligible of this and before completion of 5 year then the calculation will be

(basic+dra/26)*15*4 or (basic+dra/26)*15*5 ?

Thank You
