 A person is entitled for a gratuity only if he has completed five years in any organisation. In the event of an unfortunate death or disablement, the government has waived off the requirement of any minimum eligibility period. The gratuity amount depends upon the tenure of service and last drawn salary. As per the Gratuity Act, the gratuity is payable up to the date of death irrespective of whether the employee has completed five years or not.
