The employee is eligible.

The employer must have entrusted the task of handling gratuity to one person in HR.

The HR person made responsible by employer may issue notice to employee on calculation of gratuity with a copy to controlling authority of gratuity, and pay the amounts with in 30 days as per:

Section: 7: Determination of the amount of gratuity: (2),(3)

From the date of reference (date of resignation)

The HR person should have supplied the FormI to employee.

If the company has obtained insurance from LIC as per

Section: 4A: Compulsory insurance

The company should pay entire amount to employee, as paid by LIC to the company.

Company should not keep any amounts from amounts paid by LIC if amount calculated   as per formulae of calculation of gratuity is lesser than amounts paid by LIC to company.
