Hi, I have a query on gratuity. I joined an organization on June 2, 2008, and would like to know whether I would be eligible to receive gratuity if December 15, 2012, is my last day in the organization.

Mr. Vinay is right. If you are leaving the company and have already completed the period of 5 years (June 2008 to June 2012), then you are eligible for gratuity. If you are not leaving the company, you would receive the gratuity at the time of leaving. However, you will only receive it if you have completed 5 years in the same company.

Gratuity Eligibility Clarification
Yes, gratuity is payable after the completion of 5 years. However, if an employee has completed 4 years and 240 days in the last year, they are also entitled to gratuity. In one case, the Madras High Court held that an employee rendering continuous service for a period of one year, i.e., the fifth year, will be deemed to have continued in service for one year as stipulated by Section 2A of the act.
