Dear Amar ji,
Surenderji is correct in replying you. However, you can make request to your employer. It is up to the employer whether to accept your request or not. If I am your employer I will not accept. Why should I accept a request of a person who is departing me?
You are requested to go thru' earlier threads/ postings in same subject including of me.

Yes, I agree with Mr. Keshav ji.
A wide discussion has already been made on the subject matter.
It is still a grey area inspite of a judgment of HCM.
The Querist may visit other threads on the same issues made on this Citehr.

If you have worked 240 days in last year (including valid leave days ) you are entitled.You should file gratuity claim to your employer first ,it the employer failed to make payment of gratuity within 30 days from separation of service ,you may file application for gratuity before the controlling authority of your ares (Labour Commissioner)

Dear Anand ji,
If you have any case in which controlling authority has directed the employer to pay Gratuity under similar circumstances, then please share it with The HR Community.
You are advised to go thru' earlier threads and postings in same subject matter by some of members and review your view.

Dear All,
It is correct that after completion of 4 year and 240 days employee can claim the Gratuity as the same is not defined in Payment of Gratuity Act but as the decision attached it can be claimed.

Supreme Court Decision on Gratuity Act 1972.pdf (380.6 KB, 348 views)

The act specifically mentions that an employee is entitiled to get Gratuity if he has completed 5 years of continious working as per formula herein below:- Basic + DA * 15/26. regards, SK Tyagi
25th December 2012 From India, Delhi

I think the Madras HC's decision in this regard is also upheld by the SC.
I.e. 4 years and minimum 240 days physical working in the 5th year - the period is eligible to get gratuity.
Experts pl confirm.
25th December 2012 From India, Pune

The gratuity eligibility as per Gratuity Act 1972 is 5 years of continuous service. Sub section (2) of section 4 is for calculation of gratuity and not for the eligibility of gratuity.

But as per the judgment of the Supreme Court an employee is eligible for gratuity if he has completed 4 years of continuous service and 240 days continuous working in 5th year. On the day when he completes his 240 days in the 5th year he will be eligible for gratuity.

The judgment of Supreme Court rendered under the provisions of the Industrial Dispute Act in Surendra Kumar Verma vs. Central Govt. Industrial Tribunal,[(1980) (4) S.C.C.433)], it is enough that an employee has a service of 240 days in the preceding 12 months and it is not necessary that he should have completed one whole year’s service. As the definition of continuous service in Industrial Dispute Act and Payment of Gratuity Act are synonymous, the same principal can be adopted under the act also and hence an employee rendering service of 4 year 10months 11days is considered to have completed 5 years continuous service under sec.4(2) and thereby is eligible for gratuity."

Now almost all organizations are paying gratuity if an employee has completed 4 years of continuous service and 240 days continuous working in 5th year.

Dear Ulhas ji,
You said, as per the judgment of the Supreme Court an employee is eligible for gratuity if he has completed 4 years of continuous service and 240 days continuous working in 5th year. On the day when he completes his 240 days in the 5th year he will be eligible for gratuity. I wish to ask you, where is such judgment?
The Supreme Court judgment in Surendra Kumar Verma vs. Central Govt. Industrial Tribunal,[(1980) (4) S.C.C.433)] is under ID Act and not under Gratuity Act. By virtue of definition of continuous service under ID Act and Gratuity Act is synonymous; it may not be, according to me, appropriate to adopt it in Gratuity. Both the enactments are different with different purpose / object.
Even many employers ( not almost all) are paying gratuity now a days on completing 4 years and 240 days in 5th year, you can not compel any employer to pay Gratuity under such circumstances.

All unpaid accumulations shall be deemed to be abandoned property.
