Am I Eligible for Gratuity After Working 4 Years, 11 Months, and 2 Weeks?

Dear Sir, I have a query related to gratuity. I am working for a manufacturing company and have resigned.

My Date of Joining: 27-Aug-2018

My Last Date in the Company: 10-Aug-2023

I have worked for 4 years, 11 months, and 2 weeks. Please let me know whether I am eligible to claim the gratuity amount.

Awaiting your kind reply.

Yes, you are eligible for gratuity as you have completed 4 years and 6 months.

Hi Pintu, your employer should consider you for gratuity.

Hi Shyam,

Eligibility for Gratuity

4.6 years of service is not eligible for gratuity. As per Section 4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, an employee will become eligible for gratuity on completion of continuous service of 5 years only. The 6-month criteria you are referring to is meant only for the purpose of computation of gratuity for the subsequent year.
