Hi guys,
I have worked for a PSU in india for 4 years and 9 months and have recently resigned to move to some private firm(serving my notice period currently). I am aware of the fact that there is a Supreme Court ruling that the eligibility for gratuity is 4 years and 6 months of continuous employment for a company that runs five days a week. My HR dept is not agreeing to release my gratuity citing that they arent aware of any such ruling. Can someone here help me and tell if i am eligible for thr gratuity, if yes? how can i go about getting it released from my employer.
Thanks and Regards

This confusion about 4 years 9 months or 5 complete years has been persisting. Not a single querist has come back and given proof that he got the payment released after serving 4 years 9 months.

Dear Nathrao ji,
Even there is an incident of paying Gratuity on 4 years 9 months service by any company otherwise in Chennai and Kerala, it does not mean there is a Law to pay it. I stand on my "say" till such time there is a verdict by respective court.
Company can pay anything more than Law.

Dear Keshavji,
I do agree mere voluntary act of payment of gratuity to exiting employee with 4years 9 months service does not make it a law or compulsion for other employers to follow suit.
My only point is this topic has been argued several times in several threads but as i said no body is bringing the case of exiting employee getting gratuity with 4years 9 months service.
