Yes, he is eligible as per proviso to Section 4 (1) of the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, mandating that the qualifying period of continuous service for five years shall not be necessary where the termination of service of any employee is due to death or disablement. Hence the claim can be processed accordingly.
