Dear Sir,
In calendar year i.e. Jan to December, if your are present more than 240 days then you are eligible for gratuity..if your attendance is less than 240 days then the employer has rights to deny the gratuity.
It can be paid to the employee after the decision of "standing Committee" of the company.

Dear,
You have asked a simple question - whether you are entitled to receive gratuity for the service of 6 years rendered before resignation/release.
Simple answer is - Yes. Your employer cannot deny payment of gratuity on fabricated grounds of unsatisfactory performance during service period for which he has not charged you earlier and imposed penalty for the misconduct, if any.
In case of denial of payment of gratuity, first of all send your claim in prescribed Form-I. The employer is liable to pay gratuity within 30 days of its being due, failing which interest is payable at prescribed rate after expiry of 30 days. For this you may file your claim with Controlling Authority under PG Act who is ALC under whose jurisdiction your earlier establishment comes.
Hope and wish you early payment.

Since your Company doesn't have any separate Terminal benefit scheme, naturally you are covered under the Payment of gratuity act, and you are eligible for the gratuity,provided you fulfill the eligibility norms under the Act. Non performance or satisfactory performance is not at all a criteria to deny your benefits.For this act of non performance, you have not been charged at all.It is only a frivolous charge. Please follow the method as advised by Mr.A.K.Jain, you will get your gratuity amount.
