gratuity claim

Hi

Thank for your question

The rukes suggests that once an employee becomes eligible to receive gratuity, he can apply within 30 days from the date it becomes payable. Futher, if the date of retirement or superannuation is known, then too, the application can be before 30 days.

However, an employer cannot reject an application by the employee after the expiry of 30 days , if the delay happened due to a valid reason. The rules further clarify that no claim for gratuity shall be invalid merely because the claimant has not filled his application within the specified period.

Hope this will help you

Best regards,

Thank you sir for your reply . Please note that my employer has not responded to my notice and they are silent. It is now 5 years . Can I claim gratuity with interest now ?
