Dear All,

The below answer had printed in LLR in the M/o Oct-1998 that :

Section 4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 provides that an employee will entitled to gratuity on completion of countinuous service of 5 years and while clarifying the 5 years complete service, Andhra Pradesh Hight Court had held that the minimum period for becoming eligible for payment of gratuity should not be less than 5 years since it should be complete 5 year service.  It was further clarified that the words or part in excess of six months' are only meant for the purposes of computation of gratuity for the subsequent year or years to first complete 5 years.  It was also held that if an employee has worked for 4 years 11 months and 10 days, he will not be eligible for gratuity for want of completion of 5 years.  Further in a subsquent case, MADRAS HIGH COURT while relying upon the clarification by the SUPREME COURT pertaining to 240 working days in one year will be deemed to be continuous serice of one year meaning thereby that there should not be complete 12 calender months' service.  MADRAS HIGH COURT has further held that an employee, who has put in service of 4 Years 10 Months and 18 Days in the 5 years, will be entitled to gratuity.

Case Ref.  :  Mettur Beardsell Ltd., Madras v. Regional Lab. Commissioner (Appellate Authority under Payment of Gratuity Act), Madras etc., 1998 (3) LLN 414.

Hi,

Please let me know whether this act/law ( eligibility fo gratuity if the emloyee who serves  for a minimum of 4 years& 240 days in fifth year) is applicable for all company.

My company (Public Limited Company) contributes the amount with Group Gratuity Fund and in turn the Fund amount being deposited with LIC of India.

Please let me know whether an employee can claim for Gratuity if he server for a minimum of 4 years and 240 days in the fifth year. Or is it the company's descretion to pay the Gratuity ?

I have served 4 years and 9 months from my date of joining.Am I eligible for gratuity.I saw some old posts and want to check latest position of law and cases  as it stands today in March 2010

I have also got an information that there would be several cases can be filed against employee on the grounds of  code of conduct, mis utilisation of funds or mis behviour in the office premises etc in order to fight against the employee or to calm down the employee.

Is it correct  or not. Please reply.
