Dear Expert,
I was working at managerial position with a Pvt. ltd company for 12 years. Company was abandoned by owner and top management after riot by union in which MD and GMs were manhandled in April 2009.
I had resigned from organization in Feb 2009
Company assets were seized by financial institute and auctioned to recover their dues.
Company is having gratuity account with LIC with sufficient balance. My question is,
1.How can I claim to is having gratuity account as there is no availability of authorized signatory from organization. All trustees are absconding. Some of them are overseas and not responding
2.I met LIC officials but they insist for signature of trustee for the payment
3. There are 50 other unfortunate members waiting for gratuity helplessly which were supposed to their very right.
Thanks in advance
