Is Gratuity applicable if a person resigns while on Maternity Leave

Dear Fraternity Members ,
One of our Female Employee had been on a maternity leave since past 8 months and now cannot continue with her employment
Is she eligible for Gratuity ? If yes - Is maternity period to be counted as continuous service ?
P.S : Period of Employment : 7.6 years considering her maternity and 6.10 years if maternity is not considered
Regards
Ruchi Shah

Dear Ruchi,
