You have to check up if the company is covered bt Payment of Gratuity Act 1972. The application of the Act is explained in Sec.1(3)(b),(c) & 3A as under:
b) every shop or establishment within the meaning of any law for the time being in force in relation to shops and establishments in a State, in which ten or more persons are employed, or were employed, on any day of the preceding twelve months;
(c) such other establishments or class of establishments, in which ten or more employees are employed, or were employed, or, any day of the preceding twelve months, as the Central Government may, by notification, specify in this behalf.
(3A) A shop or establishment to which this Act has become applicable shall continue to be governed by this Act notwithstanding that the number of persons employed therein at any time after it has become so applicable falls below ten.]
Further, your service should be continuous for one year minimum as per Sec.2A of the Act.
It seems you have not put in continuous service in the said company.
If the above legal requirements are not satisfied
