Eligibility For Gratuity - PDF Download - Eligibilty For Gratuity

5 years needed for graduity
making near 5 by rounding will not help
so i understand one should not post according to their own thinking
dr dave

In my previous post act was also attached, pls go through the act and post. i'm not thinking thats why attached the act.

well i also read the act
so it is clearly shows service should be more than 5 years
then rounding of 6 month or more applies.Am i correct?

For eligibility, one should have completed 5 years fully. Fraction of 6 months & above shall be rounded off only after your eligibility of 5 years for calculation of gratuity purpose

You are not eligible for Gratuity since ,you have not worked for 240 days in 5th year.The rounding off of 6 months or more service to one year is not for considering eligibility of Gratuity ,ie 5 years service,but for computation of no of years of service for payment of Gratuity to eligible persons.

please refer Se.4 of G.A. you are not entitled for gratuity as you have not completed required minimum service of 5 years. six months rounding to one year is counted only after you complete minimum 5 years initial service.

No
You are required to render 240 days service for five continuous service.It's just obvious that within seven months of the 5 th year , you can not complete 240days.
Thus you are not entitled.
For the sake of calculation, more than six months means another complete year but not for entitlement to Gratuity.

Thanks everybody.
Ordysen Sir,
My company is 5days working per week. So in that case, won't I become eligible after completing 190days ? 7months = 7X30 =210days.
Kindly clarify on this point.
Thanks in advance..

K/A Ms. Ashima,
You are eligible for gratuity. As per the aforesaid dates, your service period is 4 years 7 months.
As per Gratuity rules a day more than 6 months will be treated as one year.
So your service period considering gratuity rules will be 5 years. Hence you are entitled for Gratuity.

Dear Ashima
please read the attachment given by Madras HC judge where it reveals the applicability of gratuity
