sir, I have worked in an organization in Gujarat from may 2005 to june2016 (11 years) , when I resigned I could not complete my notice period for that they have not paid my last month salary, I got my relieving letter and also I claimed for pf. but I did not claimed for gratuity ( I don't know it has to be claimed), HR persons are also not given any information regarding the gratuity. after two months I mailed to my HR head for gratuity but I did not get any reply, what should I do, whether I'm eligible for gratuity or not. and also they have not paid my bonus amount for five years which was deducted from my salary un-officially(not shown in pay slip)as CTC. at present I'm in visakhapatnam
