If there is no salary breakup during your tenure of service, the company cannot take the plea of salary break at the stage of hearing before controlling authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act only for the purpose of reducing quantam of gratuity.

Stick on your demand of gratuity on the consolidated salary if breakup was not in existence during your tenure of service.

What is narrated in appointment letter about Salary? Is basic and DA mentioned in appointment letter or CTC sheet or increment letter duly signed by you?

Did you not ask for salary slips of all months while in employment in writing under proper acknowledgment? Is basic and break up mentioned in salary slips?

Did employer ever pay OT? If yes how was IT calculated?

Did employer ever pay PF, ESIC contribution? If yes how was IT calculated?

Did employer ever provide Form16? If yes how was I.Tax calculated?

Did employer ever pay incentives? If yes how was IT calculated?

Did employer ever pay leave encashment? If yes how was IT calculated?

Did you not ask for ‘Notice of Determination of Gratuity’?

More Imp. is that even if employer did not provide these, why did you not ask for these while in employment?

Have you not met/consulted seasoned employee’s/trade union leaders and a your own very able senior LOCAL counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in Labor/Service matters and having successful track record in such matters ……and worth his/her salt……?
