Dear LCI Querist @ Subir Gupta,

The links already provided to you and other that you can search in SEARCH option has enough threads by employee's that have succeeded by their own skills.

While you may submit FormI under proper acknowledgment, avoid litigation as much as possible.

As already suggested and appreciated by you, you may show all docs, agreement signed by you, communications, evidences on record to a very able local senior counsel specializing in labor/service matters for a considered opinion.

Labor/Service matters is altogether different filed of law and at each location there are a few counsels that specialize in it and they are very well known.

Usually such matters are referred to them by any counsel worth his/her salt.

Lawyers handling civil matters usually do not meddle in Labor/Service matters.

Inquire locally for such counsels and you will have a list of all such few counsels at your location.

Chose carefully, a counsel that suits you.

Use the inputs received by you in this thread in your future endeavors.

Online discussions have its own limitations and are not substitute for considered opinion and consultation with due examination of relevant docs and inputs in person with a counsel specializing in respective field of .

 

There are endless numbers of threads at LCI also by unsuspecting querists that have been fleeced by posers posing as expert lawyers.

 The discussions at LCI are FREE and should not be exploited as a medium to allure unsuspecting querists to pay a FEE in the name of so called consultation……………

Dear LCI Querist @ Sasi pm, 

The simple and straight approach that you may adopt is;

---Downlaod the Gratuity rules of the establishment. Some publications suggest that some establishments offer Gartuity payment even after 2years of employment.

The Payment of Gartuity Act,1972; S; 4(5) also allows such better terms of Gratuity.

---Check if Gratuity is mentioned in CTC.

--Check what is issued to you; Notice of Termination and what is the reason mentioned in it.

or Retrenchment, Or what exactly the act of employer is say; lay off..........

 

If it amounts to retrenchment then you can claim in addittion retrenchment compensation.

Post full details.

Dear LCI Querist @ Sasi pm, 

A little carefullness, application of skills, support of elders/well wishers/retired employees/unions/counsel as suggested above can fetch you results even without litigation...................

The employers have settled Gratuity in such/many cases and there are many publications by many employees.

Try with yournown skills and with help, before you give up.
