Check with the Controlling Authority and Collector.
It is provided for in the Act that:
If the amount of gratuity payable under this Act is not paid by the employer, within the prescribed time, the controlling authority shall, on an application made to it in this behalf by the aggrieved person, issue a certificate for that amount to the Collector, who shall recover the same, together with compound interest thereon as arrears of land revenue and pay the same to the person entitled.
Sec9: ……………Any offence relating to non payment of gratuity under the Act Employer shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 6 months but may extend to 2 years, unless the court for reasons recorded decides for a lesser term of imprisonment or fine.
