Dear experts,
I seek your guidance in the following matter,
Source :- Central Govt. has reproduce and inserted this payment of gratuity to the private school teachers by making amendment in section : 2(E) and 3 (A) the payment of Gratuity (amendment)Act in 2009.
My Question :-
"Our school management has not extra amount to pay gratuity as it is run by Public Trust. The building of school is on rent and the land for playground and building is on token lease of 99 years. We pay 80% of the amount collected from fees to the salary of teachers and non teaching staff, the rest amount is utilized in the development of the school and in rent. State govt. edu. dept. is not giving approval to raise fees. so from where shall we to pay amount Gratuity ? Shall the members of the management have the responsibility to pay from their personal accounts? These circumstances have been arose as the law came in force in 2009 so we have not thought in this direction to save money for them."

If you are paying exactly as per signature on pay roll then you may have no money. But you have to pay. Increase fees or try other lawful methonds.
