Hi Sachin,
Payment of gratuity can be made even if employee service period is less then 5 years. 5 years criteria is only for income tax purpose. If any employee completed 5 years of service then he/ she is eligible for tax exemption.

Dear Sachin,
it is very strange to read above unwanted opinions by my other dear friends, what's a query and what they are explaining all is not well dear,
what raghunath has displayed is a provision of The payment of gratuity act, and it throws light that only in the case of death or disablement gratuity can be entitled before completing 5 years of continuous service. on the contrary those who have fired bcoz of closure of the company before completing 5 years service they are not eligible to receive the payment of gratuity.
So, get it & don't confuse with the query.

Dear Amar,
ur statment is spam, and trying to club two entirely different acts in one bucket.
employee who has not completed service of 5 years continuously should not in any way entitled for the payment of gratuity. so far income tax is concern those who are liable for income tax would get exemption from it when they received the payment for gratuity after service of 5 years.
Plz don't get it in wrong way.
