My date of joining was 06.05.06. After notice period of 1 month I left the job on 30.04.11.
After joining they started deducting my PF after 1 year. Nothing about PF / Gratuity is mentioned in my appointment letter.
Today i recd. call from HR that you have completed only 4 years so u will not get Gratuity.
Can anyone help in this case ??
For gratuity date of joining is important or P.F deduction ? or Gratuity and PF Interlinked with each other ?

Dear Sudhir,
With a successful completion of consecutive five years minimum service in an organization which should be registered would add you to acquire Gratuity Fund. Gratuity may start from Date of Joining or after probation.PF deductions depends on the company norms. PF and Gratuity is not interlinked.

1) It is very much clear that you have competed five years (4 years 11 months 26 days) in your company.
2) Only, PF is deducted from the employee’s salary, gratuity is the loyalty bonus given to the employee for the services rendered. There is no contribution in terms on money done by the employee.
3) Yes, Date of joining is very important for the payment of gratuity; there is no connection between Gratuity and PF. And in no case your employer can retain your gratuity, if your organization is covered under the gratuity act 1972. Still, if the amount of gratuity payable under this Act is not paid by the employer, within the prescribed time, to the person entitled thereto, the controlling authority shall, on an application made to it in this behalf by the aggrieved person, issue a certificate for that amount to the Collector, who shall recover the same, together with compound interest thereon at such rate as the Central Government may, by notification, specify, from the date of expiry of the prescribed time, as arrears of land revenue and pay the same to the person entitled thereto.

Dear
basically PF should be deducted from the day one as gratuity is also applicable from date of joining.
However Pf is not linked with gratuity and vice versa.It is appointment letter who clearly states date of joining and gratuity is counted from date of joining.But in your case if we will take your DOJ 30-04-11 than also you are not eligible as you have not completed 5 years.

The qualifying criterion for Gratuity enetitlement is from the date of joining the organization.
In your case you appear to be just short of 5 years. But then if you have worked continuously for 240 days in the 5th year, you are surely entitled to receive payment of Gratuity.
Please ask the HR of your last organization how have they arrived at the conclusion that you have worked only for 4 years.
