i am sory to correct you. but with my whole reseach on it and goin thru the act it is said that if employee has completed 240 days of the fifth year then he is eligible to get gratuity for 5 years.
thanks

As per the provisions prevalent in Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, an employee becomes eligible for gratutity after completion of 5 years service. You are very right in this aspect. As asked by you whether person who have completed 4 years six months will be eligible for gratuity or not. Since, the employee has not completed five years, hence not eligible for gratuity at all according to the provision exists in the Act.

Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, an empolyee becomes elegible for gratuity at the rate of 15 days per year after the completion of five years.
So, you are very right that the minimum length of services for payment of gratutity is 5 years.
The period 4.6 years can not be treated as five years. Hence not elegible for the gratutity.

I am in a similar situation , i have resigned and on my handing over day am completing 4yrs 6 months 10 days, now i am anxoius to know am i eligible for gratuty or else it is mandatory to complete 5yrs , rounding off is only for calculation of the amount.

Hi,
Pls note completion of 240 days of continued service is MUST to avail gratuity. Also an employee becomes eligble under conditions specified in the act (Ref Mr. Santosh`s post above)
Be it training period / probation period / maternity leave / paid holidays / compensatory holidays - all are taken into consideration for this purpose.
Pls correct if I am wrong.

If an employee leaves anytime between 4.6 years to 5yrs, it will also be considered as 5yrs of service for the purpose of calculating of Gratuity.
