Why are u silent for 30 month?

Do u make any correspondance to get the 6 lakh?

It is service matter hence u need to approach the tribunal court.

There is some query 1st is it private company or govt. company?

2nd have you made any communication or representation?

You have time only for 6 months more. If you have not made any stapes you may lose your right.

There is  no limitation to claim Gratuity.

There is no Limitation to approach tribunal/Labor court.

Unpaid wages are debt on employer.

Dear Sir,

 

It is a private limited company. Post moving out of the company made many communication and after six months they gave an undertaking that company owes the said amount and it will be disbursed in 20 months indicating the company is under loss. But after paying the first instalments they stopped paying the amount and on writing a mail and making a call they refused to entertain my mails or calls. Post that sent a legal notice but there was no reply for close to 3 months then approached the Gratuity commissioner for my gratuity amount.

 

The Gratuity case was with Assistant Labour Commisisoner and the judgement was in my favour (after close to one year) after 118 days he has gone on appeal with Deputy Labour commissioner and always he takes time and it is still pending.

 

One of my friend said that for filing a case in Civil Court 10% of the amount needs to be paid since i am without a job it was difficult to file a case and also i did not have clarity on it. Also thought that if i get the gratuity amount i can proceed with the civil case. Alternatively the same friend informed me that why don’t you file a case in the labour court. Hence confused please advise me.

 

Thanks

You have not replied pointwise, to all points.

Reply to each point,pointwise.

 

You have posted that:

 

"they gave an undertaking that company owes the said amount and it will be disbursed in 20 months indicating the company is under loss. "

 

Why such undertaking?

Is it stated in writing that company is under liquidation?

If NO; why are you influenced by indications?
