Dear All,
Can you help me in guiding for getting gratuity amount from my pervious organisation.
I worked in an organisation for 5 years and the organisation refused to give my gratutiy amount. I joined on 01.05.2006 and resigned on 14.05.2011. The organisation says that according to sec 2(a) of the Act , the employees should have continuous service of 5 years. Since I joined on 01.05.2006, I am not qualified to get the gratutiy benefit for the year 2006. Subsequently, I resigned my job on 14.05.2011 and had not put up the required number of days in the particular year. Therefore my total number of years of service is only 4 years. Is this correct, kindly help me
Thanks,

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for such valuable and relevant answers.
I wish to know, whether any employee completing 5 years with an organization is eligible for Gratuity or there is a compulsion that PF is deducted from the person's salary. Has gratuity anything to do with PF deduction??
I look forward to your response.

I replied that as per Industraial dispute act, DA constitute a part of wage. So DA was considered.But Management cader, they are not covered under ID act
Beyound that, where as in case of PF, why DA was attracting for claculation of PF. but why management cader DA not considered for calculation.
I replied that it depends up on company policy.

Dear Friend,
Our friends are elaborately discussed about the Gratuity Act.
However pls note that 4 yrs and 240 days( 5th year) will be applicable for gratuity in Tamil Nadu only ( pls refer Mettur Judgement given by the Madras High court.)
In other states, you need to complete 5 yrs of continuous service.

Dear Colleagues
In furtherance to the discussion, if an employee completes 5 years of service ,elgible for gratuity. right but gratuity will be paid for those number of years, in which the employee attends 240 days. suppose during five years of service, if the employee does not attend 240 days in one year, gratuity will be paid for 4 years only.
I hope you understand my point.
Thanks and Regards.
