Even if not mentioned in offer letter,gratuity will be payable.

Gratuity is not necessarily a mention on the offer letter.
It is an act. When the number of employees cross the minimum level mentioned in the act, the company automatically will be governed by it.
And when an employee continuously works in the same company for 4y & 240 days, employee becomes eligible to exercise the benefits of the gratuity act.

It does not have any stand whether payment of gratuity is mentiond in appointment letter or not. But by virtue of statute an employee is entitiled for gratuity, if he completes fixed term as per act or dies during service or on superannuation as the case may be.
