Dear Pradeep,
As you are seems to be located in AP, the AP Shops & Establishments Act, 1988 would be applicable. The term Service Compensation is referred in this Act as applicable in the case of "termination", this is referred to as "Service Compensation". Whereas the Gratuity is payable under the Gratuity Act
Both are diff. Why you should get confused, what is the matter ?
See the attachment for more clarity.

Dear Mr.Kumar,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
The Service Compensation is payable even in case of resignation (not only in case of termination) also as far as my knowledge is concerned subject to completion of 1 yr service in an establishment wherever there is no Gratuity as per the A.P. Shops & Establishments Act 1988. Is it correct or not?
Actually one of my friends has worked in a Company (in A.P.) which was registered under A.P. Shops & Establishments Act in Senior Management position for 1 yr 11 months and he has resigned. Is he eligible for Service Compensation or not? Kindly clarify.
Thanks once again.

In my view this sec.47 specifically 47 (5) should be gone thro' together with the Gratuity Act,
Under the Gratuity Act the eligibility is for a continuous service of 5 yrs. depending on these conditions one has to study the individual's case. A plain reading says he would be eligible since he won't be paid under Gratuity Act. However you may search for some settled case laws which would throw more light on this issue. Right now I don't have the relevant case laws. You may consult an advocate in AP.

Dear Sir: My son in law joined a multi-national software company on the 9th May, 2007 and resigned his job w.e.f. 10th February, 2012. (The resignation was at the instance of the management, I understand). Unfortunately he died on the 3rd March, 2012. Kindly inform whether his nominee can claim Gratuity, since he has not completed five years of service at the time of resigning the job. If there are any relevant decisions and judgement, kindly inform me at your earliest. Kindly reply to my e-mail ID <rkrajagopalan@yahoo.co.in> Thanks and regards.

For gratuity calculation purpose, what parts of salary is considered, is it just BASIC or any other allowance like Dearness Allowance. Private sectors call the allowances differently like Specialization Allowance apart from Basic as part of the salary. Act says 'WAGES'. Is this specialization allowance part of 'WAGES' definition?

Hi suresh
As per my knowledge & exp.
1. Asst.commissioner of Labour of your Establishment ( Organisation) area is the proper authority under Payment of /gratuity Act. you can initially make a simple application to him regarding your case. On receipt of your application the Authority will call your previous company & will try for amicable settlement. If no settlement arrived at, then you can through your lawer file a case for payment of gratuity under reference. .
2. As regards reduction of remuneration- since you are working at sr level ,at the time of joining you must have obtained the appointment order/documents related to remuneration. On the basis of these documents ( higher pay) you can claim in a court the case-Violetion of contract. This is what is possible.But not advisable, since you are working at sr.level & making litigation with employer may cause problem to your frame. This is what I feel.SDP
