Hello,
NO you can not claim for Gratuity.In any class of establishment employee has to complete continuous 5 years of service after 5 years 6 months would be rounded off to 1 year.( Subject to resignation from Services of the Company.)

“240 day has to be completed for 5 working days a week.”
190 days in case of establishment which works for less than six days in a week.
So employee who has worked for 190/240 days in a year is eligible.
For the purposes of this Act,
{2} {a}
(i) one hundred and ninety days, in the case of an employee employed below the ground in a mine or in an establishment which works for less than six days in a week; and
(ii) two hundred and forty days, in any other case;
SC and HC judgements are enclosed.
