Recently the payment of gratuity amendment bill has been passed by the parliament and it shall come into force on such date as the central Govt. may, by notification in the official Gazette. Does it mean that the effective date of this bill is on the date of notification or any retrospective date ?

Hi,
I recently retired from a Public Sector Unit. I was eligible for a gratuity of Rs 5,31,00 as per the rules, but because of the ceiling existing as on 05-05-2010(the date on which the proceedings were awarded) I could get only Rs 350,000.
The newspapers on 06-05-2010 have the story that the proposed amendment in the Gratuity Act to raise the ceiling to Rs 10 Lakhs in place of the original Rs 3.5 Lakhs has now been approved.
The amended Act was not available on search here.
Please tell me:
(1) Where can I get a pdf file of the new Gratuity Act?
(2) When does it become operative
(3)Will it apply with retrospective effect in my case of retirement on 31-03-2010?
Thanks,
Venugopalan K M.

Dear Sir,
I am serving as senior exrecutive with a Public Sector Bank & am retiring on May 31, 2010. Payment of Gratuity Bill was been passed by both houses of Parliament by May 7. No news of President's signatures since then. As the bill had all party support why Madam President is taking so long to sign & when will notification come. Also Will it be effective from date of signing by President as it converts into an Act ie law on that day or date of notification? Please clarify. Shall await yr response as time is running out.RK KAPOOR

Dear friends,
The Bill has received assent of the President on 17th May 2010 and has now become an Act. However, it will come into effect on such date as may be notified by the government. We have to wait for the notification.

Many HR friends have been circulating the Bill as it was presented to the Parliament. Whats actually needed is information whether the bill has been notified and if not when it shall be done and also whether the effective date for enhanced gratuity will be retrospectively 1st jan 2006 for Central Govt empls and 1st Jan 2007 to some PSUs who have implemented the wage revision.
