About Gratuity Payment

sarvab
There are several references to 4 years and 240 days being the minimum time required for gratuity eligibility. But a clause in gratuity law, while referring to continuous service, states " one hundred and ninety days, in the case of an employee employed below the ground in a mine or in an establishment which works for less than six days in a week;"
Now for software companies that work monday to friday, does it mean that it is sufficent to complete 4 years and 190 days to be eligible for gratuity? If not to what establishments does 190 days apply?
