Dear HR Fraternity,
Please do not bother about all these things.
P.F. still stands at Rs. 6500/- and ESIC stands at Rs. 15000/-.
With the Election around the Corner - any such proposal needs detailed discussions in the Cabinet. The Cabinet needs to approve such proposals, and then it is to be sent to the President for his approval - then it has to be NOTIFIED / GAZETTED.
Meanwhile, there would be lobbying from Corporates to postpone or even dump such proposals.
Let us wait to see if at all these things are AMENDED / NOTIFIED & GAZETTED. While gazetting (if it passes through various procedures) the effective date will be intimated.
Until then, let us just carry on with what is on our plate.
Thanks for the understanding.
Regards,
PS:
There was hue and cry when the Sexual Harassment Act was introduced, with so many interpretations - Articles, etc. But what happened? It has NOT YET BEEN NOTIFIED OR GAZETTED. The Central Government is yet to even frame Rules for that!
So, for any Central or State Act, let us just wait for the proper Notification --> Gazetting, where the effective date will be intimated in advance.
In India, nothing is implemented from this moment, except for "an increase in the prices of essential commodities."

Dear team,
I need some clarity on gratuity payment. We are working five days a week, and currently, we provide gratuity for those who have completed 4 years and 240 days. However, there is a discussion where some argue that gratuity should be provided for those who complete 4 years and 190 days. Can you help me understand if we are required to give gratuity for 4 years and 190 days as per any judgment or provision in the gratuity act?
Another issue is that some employees who have not completed even 4 years are requesting gratuity upon retirement. Are we obligated to provide gratuity to them?
Kindly share your valuable advice along with any necessary legal evidence.
Thanks and regards,

Dear all,
No doubt, employers will search for a way to avoid this (PF). They will start the salary payments on different heads. Our Tax Consultants (who are they?) may definitely help them out to overcome the expenditure.

Dear Chithambararaj ji,
First of all, you started the discussion of gratuity in the wrong thread of PF. The subject of gratuity for 4 years and 240 days has been well discussed earlier in this forum on a number of occasions. The said judgment is also available in many discussions. You are requested to do research on it.
Please note the following:
1. The said judgment is binding only in the jurisdiction of HC Madras.
2. There is no question of paying gratuity for 4 years and less than 240 days, as you raised the query.
3. There is no question of paying gratuity for less than 5 years of service except in the case of death.
4. For gratuity on 4 years and 190 days, you need to bring a fresh judgment.
