As per my knowledge if employee is on roll of company & he continuously work 4 year & 240 days in a same concern, than he is entitled for gratuity.
And company can clear his all dues from employee's gratuity amount.
But Company can not deducted any amount from employee's PF Amount ( as Per sec 10(d) of PF Act.)
