You have worked for 04Y01M10D.

So: NO as per Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972; 2A

It is vaguely remembered that there were publications that some employers in IT sector offered Gratuity even after 2 years of employment.

The employer can offer and employee can get better terms of Gratuity.

Refer: Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972: 4(5)

Try by requesting the employer.
