Is the Indian Group Gratuity Act applicable to an Indian employer employing a foreign citizen as a permanent employee, and such an employee physically works in India for more than 181 days? Presume there are another 50 Indian citizen employees also employed and covered under the GGCA scheme.

Will such a foreign citizen employee get the claim:
1. a gratuity claim under the Gratuity Act?
2. a death claim under the allied insurance scheme?

The said foreigner does come under the group gratuity scheme and is applicable to gratuity as per the act. Also, if he dies before he completes 5 years, he does get the benefit of gratuity.

In a nutshell, the foreign national will be treated on par with his Indian colleague and no more, no less.
