Gratuity if not part of ctc

Even if Gratuity is made part of CTC as per provisions of Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972:...........If the establishment works for 6days/week or less than 6days/week: then you should be eligible after completion of 4Y240D/4Y190D.

The company’s enteries in balance sheet are not your subject matter.

The company can offer better terms of gratuity and pay it even if employee has worked for less then period as mentioned above.

Refer: Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972:4(5).

There are publication suggesting some comapne shave been offering payment of Gartuity after 2 years of service.

If the company does not have any such policy or has not offerred better terms of Gratuity to you then as on date you are not eligible, since as per your post you have worked for 4Y only.
