Can i apply gratuity now ?

Ganpath Dani (Querist) 06 April 2013 This query is : Resolved
Hello,

I joined an organisation on 31/12/2003 and my last working day was 17/10/2008. My total service to organisation was 4 years 10 months and 18 days. I understand that I am eligible for my Gratuity fund. However, my questions are

1. Since it has been almost 4 and half years that I have left this organisation, Can I apply my Gratuity now.

2. Should I ask my employer to process my gratuity fund or should I consult some one else in concern Gratuity (Govt)department.

2.I worked in Hyderabad location but head office is in Mumbai. Where should I apply?

Please help me with these questions.

Thanks.

You can apply either of both places for the gratuity even on today, though the law of limitation do come in the way but it can be condoned.

I suppose you have resigned your job.If it is the case it is the bounden duty of the employer to pay your gratuity within thiry days.You can file a case with the controlling Authority of employer.You are entitled for your gratuity and you can claim it even now.

you can opt the jurisdiction - hyderabad or bombay, whichever is suitable to you. First serve the notice, as it is mandatory as per the Act and then move application before the Authority under Payment of Gratuity Act (most of the times it is Deputy Labour Commissioner of the area).
