4 years 6 months cannot be rounded off to 5 years. A minimum of 4 years 8 months of service is required for Gratuity payment as per the Madras High Court Guidelines, which has now become the norm for the payment of gratuity. Anything over and above 5 years of service is only eligible for rounding off to the next year where the employee completes 6 months of service.

Recently, we have formed a trust with LIC for Gratuity purposes. As per LIC, unless 5 years are completed by an employee, he/she will not be eligible for gratuity. It is better to stick to the basics of the Gratuity Act for a safer side.

Hi,
Please refer to Section 2 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, which specifies 4 years and 240 days as the eligibility criteria. If an individual has worked for only 180 days, instead of the required 240 days, it is essential to verify the paid days. If the person has been present for 180 days, with the remaining days being paid leaves, sick leave, casual leave, leave from ESI, or holidays, and the total accumulates to 240 days or more, then he/she is eligible for gratuity.
There have been numerous discussions on this topic in the past. However, delving into further discussions may lead you into a state of dilemma.
