I have resigned after serving 6 years of uninterrupted service in Central Government. Am I eligible for gratuity?
Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 , para 4 states that 5 years of service is required for payment of gratuity.
26(I) of CCS(pension) rule , 1972 states that my past service stands forfeited after resignation .
However, para 2, CCS(pension) rule 1972 states that it applies to Government servants appointed on or before 31st day of December,2003. As I was appointed in 2015, Is CCS (pension) rule applicable for me ??
If no, its rule 26(I) for forfeiture also does not apply to me? Does that imply I may be eligible for gratuity payment?
