The question itself is confusing. The person who has completed continuous service of 5 years is eligible for gratuity, not just 5 years of experience. Experience can be with more than one employer. Furthermore, you cannot make a policy that does not pay gratuity. You have to obey the Act and Rules.

I mean to say "The person who has completed continues service of 5 years in one establishment, is eligible for Gratuity, and not 5 years experience. Experience can be with more than one employee.

As per the court rulings, if a person works continuously for 4 years and 240 days, he is entitled to gratuity. A company's policy cannot be against the provisions of statutes, and hence, it is not possible for companies to have a policy against the provisions of payment of gratuity.
PF and Gratuity are totally different and governed by separate statutes, namely the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, and the Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The only similarity is that both are social security legislations.

Every employee who has completed continuous service of 5 years in an organization becomes eligible for gratuity payment from that organization. As per the Shops and Establishments Act, every employee who has continuous service of 1 year and less than 5 years becomes eligible for service compensation. The calculation basis is the same in both cases. The law benefits the employee rather than the employer. The law supersedes any organization's policy. Policies must align with or exceed the respective Acts but cannot override them.

Eligibility for Gratuity Based on Employment Duration
If an employee has worked for 5 years in the same company, from the date of joining until the present date, they are eligible for gratuity. However, if the employee has worked in multiple companies during the same 5-year period, they are not eligible for gratuity from their current company.
Thank you.

As per my knowledge, if an employee is on the company's payroll and continuously works for 4 years and 240 days in the same organization, then they are entitled to gratuity. The company can settle all dues from the employee's gratuity amount. However, the company cannot deduct any amount from the employee's PF amount (as per section 10(d) of the PF Act).
Thank you.

Gratuity Eligibility and Calculation
As per the provisions of the Gratuity Act of 1972, those who complete 5 years are entitled to gratuity. The gratuity amount will be calculated as follows: Last Drawn Basic & Dearness Allowance × 15/26 × Number of completed years of service.
If a person puts in more than 240 days of service in the fifth year, they are entitled to gratuity as per the guidelines laid down in the "Mettur Beardsell" case by the Madras High Court. Please refer to the 1998 LLR 1072 for the above case law.
