How many years did you work there? you are eligible to withdraw the money after 4 yrs and 8 mths of working with company.They are supposed to put it in your full and final settlement.

Dear Bani
I think you must finish 5 years first. then only u r eligible for getting gratuity amount. after 5 years every 6 months will be counted as one year.
Your statement of "you are eligible to withdraw the money after 4 yrs and 8 mths of working with company" may not be correct.

Hi..you are eligible for gratuity after 240 days of the 5th yr of working with the company. That works out to 4yrs and 8 mths. Please refer to the gratuity act for more details.

Hello Bani 154,
As per the Act, the gratuity is elgible to an employee , who completes 5 years of continous service. If an employee completes 5 yrs 6 months then his gratuity is calculated as 6 years. Employee is not paid gratuity for 4 yrs 8 months.
Gratuity is paid after 30 days of relieving date of the employee. Employee has to draft a application for the gratuity. Employeer is bindd to pay gratuity on or before the completion of 30 days.
