Dear Vijay,
Keeping in view details given by you, the concerned employee will be entitled to payment of Gratuity for 19 years and not 18 years since he has although not completed 240 days in that particular year but completed more than 6 months of continuous service (exceeding 120 days). Moreover he was under ESI where he must have got partial salary from ESI for the duration (65 days) he was under the treatment.

Dear all!!!! Section 2-A of the PG Act stipulates that for calculation of continous service the period of uninterrupted service including the period of sickness, accident, leave, absence (except where there is a break in service), lay off, strike, lock out, or cessation of work not due to the fault of the employee. Hence the different contingencies stated in your query like ESI leave, absence, suspension etc cannot deprive an employss of getting gratuity for that period. Hope the same clarifies regards KK Nair
