Gratuity Rules in India are very clear. It states that every employee is eligible to get an ex- Gratia amount after leaving the job. But this retirement benefit is subject to some conditions. The gratuity rules are applicable for government employees and private sector. Gratuity is tax-free if it is given according to the specified formula.

Every employer is bound to give gratuity amount to its employees if it employs more than 10 people. The gratuity is given after leaving the job of you have completed continuous service of 5 years. Gratuity is a non taxable amount provided employer gives gratuity according to the formula.

So you are eligible to get gratuity benefit
