Gratuity Act, section 2A
6 years ago
As per Section 2A of Gratuity Act (Continuous Service), an employee is eligible for gratuity if he has completed:
(i) one hundred and ninety days, in the case of an employee employed below the ground in a mine or in an establishment which works for less than six days in a week; and
(ii) two hundred and forty days, in any other case;
Most of the IT companies today have a 5 day working culture. Does this mean that gratuity can be paid before completion of 5 years as well? Specific to IT, after 190 days or continuous working?
