If a company closes where employees' service to company is less than 5 years, can employee get gratuity? Please guide us. Regards, Sachin

Hi Sachin,
Payment of gratuity can be made even if employee service period is less then 5 years. 5 years criteria is only for income tax purpose. If any employee completed 5 years of service then he/ she is eligible for tax exemption.

Dear Rushpal,
The term superannuation means when the employee attains 58 years of age.
Retirement can happen in different forms.
Voluntary retirement popularly known as VRS.
On attaining age of 58 years popularly known as "Superannuation".
Trust matter is clarified. Any further queries contact

Dear Sachin,
it is very strange to read above unwanted opinions by my other dear friends, what's a query and what they are explaining all is not well dear,
what raghunath has displayed is a provision of The payment of gratuity act, and it throws light that only in the case of death or disablement gratuity can be entitled before completing 5 years of continuous service. on the contrary those who have fired bcoz of closure of the company before completing 5 years service they are not eligible to receive the payment of gratuity.
So, get it & don't confuse with the query.

Dear Amar,
ur statment is spam, and trying to club two entirely different acts in one bucket.
employee who has not completed service of 5 years continuously should not in any way entitled for the payment of gratuity. so far income tax is concern those who are liable for income tax would get exemption from it when they received the payment for gratuity after service of 5 years.
Plz don't get it in wrong way.
