Our member friend Mr.Rajiv Singh is absolutely correct.

Dear Manivel,
It is better to stay there for another 2 months to get eligibility as per the Payments of Gratuity Act. Bcoz the act clearly defines that one have to completes his 5 years tenure for getting eligibility. So, why to give chance for refusement? Do your best.
