Dear Harish,

After going through the definition of the employee under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, it is clear that a person holding a post under the Central Government is not covered under this definition. Central Govt. employees are entitled to receive gratuity under their Service Rules only and not under this Act.

Thank you, Mr. Khola.

Yes, the gratuity payable to employees of the Indian Railways is governed by the Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993. I resigned from railway service after completing 8 years of qualifying service. Am I eligible for any gratuity under the Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993?

I intend to claim the service gratuity that is payable under Rule 69(1) of the Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993.
