I wish to have clarity on Gratuity withdrawal terms, which state a minimum of 5 years of regular service in a company. Does this 5 years mean the 5th year of joining, or is it calculated from the date of joining? Please update.

Understanding Gratuity Eligibility
In the Gratuity Act, "Gratuity is applicable to a permanent employee who completes 5 years of continuous service with the organization."
An employee who has completed 5 years of continuous service with the organization is eligible for gratuity, even if the employer approved a two-year break for training or further study.
Effective from the date of joining, an employee who has completed 4 years and 240 days of continuous service in the 5th year becomes eligible for gratuity.
Basically, gratuity is calculated from the date of joining to completing 5 years. For example, if a person joins on 5th Dec 2001 and serves continuously till 5th Dec 2006, they are eligible for gratuity, even if they were on leave for 3 months in a year or for 2 years continuously, as long as it was sanctioned by the employer.
