Hi,

As per the judgment of the Supreme Court an employee is eligible for gratuity if he has completed 4 years of continuous service and 240 days continuous working in 5th year. On the day when he completes his 240 days in the 5th year he will be eligible for gratuity .

If not completed above then there will be no gratuity.

No provision unless he has completed four years and eight months of service as per the prevailing law.
