Hi Divia
As per the Madras High Court Judgement if an employee put up a service of 4 years and 240 days of service in a single organisation he is eligible for gratuity benefit. In your case the employee had put up a service of 4 years and approx. 270 days, hence he is eligible to get the benefit of gratuity.

Hi Sir,
Is this law applicable only in Tamil Nadu??Also i want to know if the gratuity calculation the same in case of a deceased employee????i read this info in another thread,
Gratuity for any death case would be calculated based on below formula(as per Gratuity act):
Gratuity amount= (No. of year service in company + No. of service years left till his age of 58 ) * (15/26*Last drawn basic)
Is this true???

Hi Divia
Payment of Gratuity Act applicable and same through out India.
For deceased employee the calculation is the same, but the total 5 years of services is not necessary, for example a deceased worked for say 1 year, even then the gratuity has to be paid.
For gratuity payment to a deceased only no of years he served is taken in to account for payment of gratuity not the left out years upto an of 58.

Hi Divya
The Expired employee had put in service of 8 Years 3 months and 14 days. Hence he would get gratuity benefit for 8 Years only.
The workout would be: Last drawn Basic + DA = 8800 / 26 = 338.46 per day wage X 15 days =5076.90 Per Year Gratuity benefit, for 8 years = 8 X 5076.90 = 40615.20. Total Gratuity.
Hence his nominee would get a total gratuity of Rs.40615.00
