Dear Ashish,
The gratuity eligibility service as per Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 is 5 years i.e. continuous service [Refer section 2(c) read with Section 2A of Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972]. However, an employee who has put in his service for a period of 240 days in fifth year will be deemed to have continued in the service for 1 year.[Refer Mettus Beardsell Ltd., Madrs Vs. RLC(C) 1998 LLR 1072(Mad)].
Hope the above suffice.
