It is mandatory for the employee to have completed minimum of five years in service to be able to receive gratuity.
It is not applicable to interns or temporary employees.
Gratuity is not paid as part of your regular monthly salary; it is only payable on the occurrence of any of the events like retirement or superannuation, death, etc.
