Dear Vijayita ji,
You are eligible for gratuity as you have already completed 5 years of employment. As you have mention leave days, it will not effect the eligibility criteria given under Gratuity Act.

No, you are not eligible for gratuity.
In the 5th year you have worked approx 100 days( 15 days in jan, 84 days for maternity, 1 day in july). even if you had APL/PL/CL/EL which may maximum constitute to 60 day(20 days/year), you would have got the salary paid for 150 - 180 days. Rest days would be LOP.
so which is less than 240 days in the 5th year.
Every year you should work for 240 days(Minimum).

Dear Shri Abhay Raj Ji,
Please check your assertion once again. Even if the leave is without pay, if it is on medical ground duly supported with a proper medical certificate and the competent authority has accepted it for grant of leave (any kind of leave), it is considered as qualified service period and is eligible for computation of gratuity. I do not see any difficulty in Smt. Vijayita Ji getting gratuity for the entire period of her services. Thanks and regards,

Dear Ms.Vijayita Nair
The following is the worksheet for calculating the number of years of continuous service rendered by you with your management. This is based on the information furnished by you in this thread.
Date of leaving (Proposed) 2012-03-31.
Date of joining 2007-01-01
Total length of service 5-2-30 that is five years two months and thirty days.
During the year 2010 you have availed leave as follows:
Leave without salary permitted by the management from : 15-01-2010 to 06-04-2010
Maternity leave from 07-04-2010 to 30-06-2010
Duty on 1-7-2010
Leave without salary permitted by the management from 02-07-2010 to 31-12-2010
During the year 2010 you have availed maternity leave under ESI. This period has to be reckoned for computing the years of continuous service rendered by you. The other spells of leave availed by you during the year 2010 are all leave without salary but permitted by the management. Section 2A of the Payment of Gratuity Act defines the term "continuous service" for the purposes of this Act and for the purposes of calculating the continuous service for eligibility to get gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act. You please take a copy of the Payment of Gratuity Act and read section 2A. The term "continuous service" in so far it relates to the Payment of Gratuity Act includes even absence from duty without leave. In your case the period of your absence during the year 2010 is permitted by the management. In other words it is authorised leave or authorised absence. Moreover according to section 2A of the Payment of Gratuity Act even in the case of unauthorised absence, the employer/management has to pass an order in writing and communicate it to the concerned employee informing him that the period of his unauthorised absence will be treated as a break in service for the purposes of calculating the "continuous service" contemplated under the Payment of Gratuity Act.This order has to be passed when the employee avails the unauthorised leave and not at the time the payment of gratuity becomes due. In your case, the absence is authorised absence or authorised leave. So no question of break in service will arise. Therefore, the authorised leave availed by you during the year 2010 has to be reckoned for the purpose of calculating the length of continuous service rendered by you. Even if it is assumed for the purpose of discussion that your absence was not authorised by the employer, then also if the employer had not passed an order treating the absence as "break in service" for the purpose of "continuous service" under the Payment of Gratuity Act, that period of unauthorised absence has to be reckoned for calculating the length of "continuous service". Therefore if the Payment of Gratuity Act is applicable to the establishment in which you are employed and also if the Payment of Gratuity Act is applicable to you, then you are eligible to get gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act as you have put in more than five years of continuous service.
My above stated views are based on the information furnished by you in this thread.
