Dear Madhusudan,
As per my knowledge, there is no provision for 3 years. If you have any documentary proof of the same, please share it with the group. It will help us solve many queries.
Please find enclosed herewith the Madras High Court judgment on eligibility for Gratuity for your reference.

I read the comments from all of you professionals. Some of my candidates, whom I placed with a company in Noida, have been working there for the last 3 years. I understand that they are not eligible for gratuity, but what if the company decides to close down?
Eligibility for Gratuity in Case of Company Closure
The company has suddenly decided to close down its operations and shut the offices. Will they be eligible for gratuity in such a case? Please reply.

Gratuity Act and Fictional Service
The Gratuity Act does not provide for fictional service in an establishment that is closed, as there may not be an end to revel in such fiction, and there may be claims for P.F. & PL encashments, etc., on the basis of fictional service. However, if the employees are workmen, they can claim closure compensation under Sec. 25-FFF of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

I was just reading the conversation and would like to add a little clarification regarding the period of 5 years of continuous service. The term "continuous service," as defined in the Gratuity Act, refers to an employee who completes 242 days of uninterrupted service. Therefore, concerning the entitlement of Gratuity, if an employee completes 4 years and 242 days of continuous service, he/she is entitled to Gratuity.
