About Gratuity payment if worker dies within 3 months of joining?

Hi,
In death cases, If employee has worked in company at-least above 180 day, his/her nominee is eligible to claim for gratuity.

Dear Vikas.R,
Can you please produce the relevant section or any other valid documentary proof to suffice your say?
It may be your interpretation. I am not saying it is wrong. While calculating of gratuity we ignore the year if an employee has worked less than 6 months and in case of 6 months and above we consider full year.
If this logic is applied then working for less than 180 days i.e. 6 months, we can ignore the gratuity. But how much you will save for your company?

In this case, he might be paid considering 3 months service as one year with some ex-gratia to help the deceased family upto some extent.

Hi,
There is not any hard and fast rule that gratuity shall be payable after 6 months in death case. But in most of companies after 6 months duration is counted for eligibility for payment of gratuity.
Gratuity Death case eligiblity is totally based on company or gratuity provider management discretion to count for payment for less than 6 months service duration employee.
