If the employer has provided with better terms of Gratuity as per Sec; 4(5) of Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 then relate with terms of the contract/agreement offered to you and check if you are eligible as per (better) terms of Gratuity, offered by employer .
Gratuity is without any cost to employee and NO money should be deducted from wages of employee.
Has employer shown the deductions in monthly salary slips issued to you?
Or if you have evidence that amount equivalent to Gratuity component was deducted from your wages/salary. Gratuity is average 15days of annual salary ( Basic+DA) @ last drawn.
If yes, you may claim the amount with interest!
Gratuity= {(Basic+DA)/26*15*No. of years in service} (Basic +DA) as per last drawn salary
After 5 calendar years; No of years=1 if employee has worked >6 months ………..and ……………….. No of years=0 if employee has worked <6 months…
Gratuity: Employee that is eligible may; Just write under proper acknowledgment to designated official e.g; HR head/designated HR personnel and if required to good offices of appointing authority, MD, CEO……………..that ‘ Notice of Determination of Gratuity’, payment o Gratuity, requisite forms if any be supplied on LWD……….. or you can also write after LWD or after getting acknowledgment and/or acceptance of resignation, reliving docs etc If employer dos not tender payment within 30days from LWD then IT has to tender interest @10%pa.
Avoid committing any act leading (alleged) loss that can be established for forfeiture of Gratuity.
In case you have posted wrongly about deduction from salary but IT is CTC then you may resolve by applying your own skills ; persuasion, persistence, negotiations, reasoning…
