Hi,
Since, you have nomination, gratuity amount is payable to nominee only. See Section 4 of the Act. If no nomination is there, then let the claimant to move to Controlling Authority. It is best and suggested that you may deposit the amount of Gratuity to the Controlling Authority who will disburse as per Act and in this way, no claim would arise on you.
Part of Section 4 is reproduced below:
4. Payment of Gratuity.- (1) Gratuity shall be payable to an employee on
the termination of his employment after he has rendered continuous service for
not less than five years,-
(a) on his superannuation, or
(b) on his retirement or resignation,
(c) on his death or disablement due to accident or disease:
Provided that the completion of continuous service of five years shall not be
necessary where the termination of the employment of any employee is due to
death or disablement:
[Provided further that in case of death of the employee, gratuity payable to
him shall be paid to his nominee or, if no nomination has been made, to his
heirs,[/COLOR][/B] and where any such nominees or heirs is minor, the share of such minor,
shall be deposited with the Controlling Authority who shall invest the same for
the benefit of such minor in such bank or other financial institution, as may be
prescribed, until such minor attains majority].

When in doubt, approach the authority under gratuity act, give him a notice and follow his instructions to the Last.
To the best of my knowledge, gratuity is payable as lump sum and not in instalments.
Once the money is paid to the nominee, how or what she does with it is her decision. That is more the reason you need to follow instructions of gratuity authority, so you are no held liable

As per nomination spouse got gratuity amount. He/she gets remarriage and did not give a single penny to other nominees like minor children,dependent/non dependent parents.
In this case is there any provision to take back gratuity amount from her/him and distribute to employees dependent children,parents etc.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no such provision. The children will have to make a civil suite in court

Dear Mr. HR Prof.
If HE gets remarried, then I think, there will no problem. If SHE gets remarried, then there may be problem.
I this regard, I may point out that when HER kith & kin are not able to get single penny from her, how can you get back the gratuity amount. Moreover, Nomination of the employee is not challengeable.
However, one question for our consideration comes out from your above query that what should we do to safeguard the interest of other family members of the employee?
However, forum will put light on this issue, yet I try to suggest that we should get details of the family of the employee at the time of executing nomination & share of amounts payable and at the time of implementation of nomination we take care of interest of other family members also. It may be noted that we can not force employees for doing so.
Thanks
