GOKULDAS KAMATH (EX BANKER)     08 August 2024

Forfieted gratuity

Respected Sir

My gratuity of Rs.6.00 lakhs was forfieted by the employer in December 2014 for the reason 'Moral turpitude' as per Gratuity Act applicable in Mumbai/Maharashtra

My appeal to the Employer  is rejected stating that there is no provision for appeal 

The estimated loss to the Employer is calculated at Rs.2.00 lakhs

What is the procedure to claim this amount ?

Whether I am eligible for interest on Gratuity which is denied to me in 2014

Kindly guide

What were you doing from the year 2014 to this date. 

You should have approached the commissioner for gratuity with an application venting out your grievances seeking to redress the same. 

If your representation to the commissioner did not fetch desired results then you should have approached court of seeking relief and remedy. 

You can resort to legal action at least now
