Dear All
I have completed 4 years and 227 days in a "five day week"" organization. I applied for gratuity vide email and the organization declined to pay gratuity (by email )on the premise that I have not completed five years. Grateful if experts in this esteemed club could address the following queries:
1. Am I eligible for Gratuity ( especially with reference to sec 2A-continous service)
2. Will the email correspondence be a substitute for the recommended Form I, and Form M respectively or would I need to apply for gratuity again. What process should I follow.
3. In case the advise is to apply via Form I what date should I put. If I put the current date, would it not surmount to late application for gratuity and further delay the process
3. Please advise on next steps.
Sincere thanks
Manoj
