Am I Eligible for Gratuity After 4 Years and 9 Months with My Company?

Hi,

I worked with Company for 4 years, 9 months, and 16 days. Could you please let me know if I am eligible for Gratuity or not?

Thanks,
Suraj Singh

Hi,

This is to inform you that if an employee has not completed his 5 years of service, he is eligible for gratuity under the following condition: If an employee completes 4 years of service and has worked 240 days in the 5th year, then he is entitled to 5 years' gratuity.

Sir,

You are not eligible for gratuity. Only those who have completed 5 years of continuous service are entitled to receive gratuity. The judgment of the Madras High Court, which states that 4 years and 240 days of service are eligible for gratuity, applies only to individuals in Tamil Nadu.

Dear sir,

I don't think that will apply to T.N. only. It applies to all places where this act is applicable. In the present case, he is eligible for gratuity if he has worked 240 days in each year.

Dear All,

If one worked for 240 days in each year for 4 years and 8 months in the 5th year, they are entitled to gratuity as per the Gratuity Act.

The eligibility will depend on the number of days one is paid in the fifth year. If the organization works for 5 days a week, then completing 190 days in the fifth year will make him eligible to claim gratuity. If the organization works for 6 days a week, then completing 240 days in the fifth year will make him eligible to claim gratuity.

Thank you.

Dear HR Professionals,

We are closing our garment industries in Chennai at the end of June 2017. Please provide us with the closure formalities in Tamil and English for us to display, and any government letters if applicable.

Additionally, if an employee has not served for 5 years in our unit, should we pay gratuity for the services rendered for 4 years and 6 months onwards?

Please assist us with this matter.

What is this 190 and 240 days exactly? Do you mean we have to only take into account 23 days each month for a 5-day week, or does it mean that a person who completes 6 months and 7 days as per the calendar is deemed to have completed one full year?
