This query is : Resolved
Sir,
I am 61 years. I joined a Partnership firm on 17th Oct. 2007. Though the law says the eligibility for Gratuity is 5 years completion of service, the Supreme Court in a case gave judgement that 4 years and 240 days of service (without loss of pay) is the entitlement for gratuity. As per this, as of June 30, 2012, I would be completing 4 years & 240 days. Am I eligible to get the Gratuity? Please enlighten me on this.

Gratuity Act is duly applicable based upon its own force and if you have completed 4 years 240 days in service then definitely you are entitled for the grant of gratuity.
