Dear Sir
I was an Asst Manager in Karur Vysya Bank a Leading Old Generation Private Sector bank. Our Bank is paying a Ex-gratia is being paid
not only for the contribution of the employees during the financial year. I have worked with the bank dring full financial year 2011-12 & was resigned on 03.04.2012.I hhave serve the bank unill 02.07.2012 as i was under three months notice period. It is come to my notice that My salary account has been not credited for Ex Gratia of Rs 57,500. Hence I noticed the Hrd regarding same copy of the same correspondent has been enclosed herewith.
Hrd has given me a written replay that "Payment of Ex Gratia is not considered for the employees who have resigned during the financial year 2011-12. Likewise ex gratia will not be paid to the employees who have resigned after 31.03.2012 but before the date of release of Ex Gratia. This shall be applicable to employee serving under notice period"
As You(Means myself)resigned from the services of the bank on 03.04.2012 & you are serving under the notice period. Hence as per norms of bank you(i.e myself )is not elligeble for exgrati.

Payment of ex-gratia by the bank is at the discretion of the bank. You may cause to issue a legl notice requenting the payment of ex-gratia as paid to the employees of the previous year. But go for that only after receiving your other retirement benefits; otherwise all such payments may be delayed.

Dear Sir
Thanks for your prompt replay...is there any other mechanism to solve the query other than Legal Notice...i.e go to any Regulatory Authority(RBI) or Labor Bureau or online filling a case?

Find out the precedents in similar cases, in the same bank. If there is precedent of such payment you can try for further action.

Dear Mr raju
I do not have any idea in this regard, hence if it is possible to whom should I approach, please be guide...moreover bank has paid Ex Gratia to all the officers except me. hence it is discrimination against me , moreover it will not follow the justice of Equal pay for Equal Work.
Thanks again
