The amount of Gratuity, if not paid by the employer within the prescribed time, the aggrieved person may make an application in the prescribed form before the Controlling Authority under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Normally the Deputy Laour Commissioner (for state) & Assistant Labour Commsionser (for Central) are notified as the Controlling Authority.

First make an application to the employer and if the employer does not pay then approach Contolling Authority.

Dear friend,


Your querry is not exhaustive. First of all the terms of appointment order of the person who was initially posted as watchman has to be perused. If he has been employed on temporary basis with out any appointment order, it will be very difficult to prove his actual service. Any how as suggested by our learned friends, the aggrieved person can represent to his employer in writing and if no response is given then he can approach the controlling authority with some evidence of his long service with the sugar mill.

Decision of Controlling Authority:- Controlling Authority is a quasi-judicial person. He conducts an enquiry on thedispute. While conducting the enquiry, he should adhere with the principles of natural justice. He shall, after due inquiry and after giving the parties to the dispute a reasonable opportunity of being heard, determine the matter or matters in dispute and if, as a result of such inquiry any amount as reduced by the amount already deposited by the employer.
