Has your husband applied for payment of gratuity to the MNC in the prescreibed form? If so, what is the reply of the company? Think about legal action only after the company denies due benefit.

The claim is valid if he has worked for 4 years with 240 days in the fifth year.

Dear Arti,
first of all your husband must know that or must be knowing, however you refer section 2A of the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, everything will be cleared. secondly attaching the judgement for your reference.
secondly, you shall ask for procedure how to get gratuity, rather asking for court citation. none of the employer denies to extend this benefits to their employees.

It is true that to claim one has to put in 5 years of continuous service. The service rendered for more than six months of an year would be construed as one year. As such your husband has put in 5 years of service and eligible for gratuity. Calculation is salary(basic + DA) divided by 26 x 15 x 5(years of service).

Hi
As per recent supreme court judgment, 5 years means 5 years tenure to be eligible to get gratuity.
The Madras High Court has termed it in such a way that if somebody has worked for 4 years and 240 days are also eligible for Gratuity
Your husbad has worked as follos:
21 days in December 2005
4 years till 2009 end
243 days in 2010
and as per the Madras High court judgment if somebody has worked continiously for 240 days in fifth year without any break
but Madras high court's judgment is applicable only to its jurisdiction
The case is
mettur beardsells ltd V/s Regional Labour Commissioner and heard in 12.06.1996 vide writ petition no. 2135
if you need any help feel free to revert
I have attached file for your reference
You can claim your husband's company on this basis and let them take further call
