Quick Summary

You've worked for your employer for 4 years, 11 months, and 11 days, and are asking about your gratuity eligibility. While the general rule under the Payment of Gratuity Act requires 5 years of service, a Madras High Court ruling suggests eligibility if you complete 240 days in your fifth year. However, your HR claims this ruling is state-specific. For clarification, it's advisable to consult the labour department in Odisha, your job location, or Maharashtra, where the employment is registered, as they can provide state-specific guidance and references.
