Gratuity for unaided teachers in kerala

you are entitled for gratuity.If the school does not pay,approach the controlling authority under the Act in your area.

As far as unpaid salary is concerned,you can approach Director of secondary education's office.

You may approach local lawyer dealing with service matters, because he would be conversant with procedure in Kerala.

Dear Omprakashji, Namaskar,

There is no confusion in the matter.The definition of employee in Gratuity Act was amended in 2009 and teachers were brought within it's ambit. The amendment was given retrospective effect and made applicable from 1997.

Therefore all judgments prior to 2009 are irrelevant now and teachers  right from 1997 are entitled for gratuity.

Further there is case law to the effect that non payment of gratuity is contineous cause of action and limitation would not be

applicable.

Regards.

There is no need of any judgment.The Payment of Gratuity Act it self is made applicable to teachers from 1997.

File your claims with connrolling Authority  without further delay.After receiving the written statement of school

if your local Advocate has any difficulty,he can contact me.
