Dear Sir
I served as a teacher in a self-financed engineering college of Haryana about 11 years regularly without any break. This college has mentioned in the service conditions that a permanent employee is entitled to gratuity as per Haryana Govt. norms. Now I have joined as a lecturer in a Govt. College of Haryana.
I have claimed Gratuity for my service of 11 years with my prevoius employer as per the Haryana Govt. norms but my employer is saying that you are not entitled, since we are giving gratuity for at least 15 years of regular service. I am not understanding this rule of my employer, since as per Haryana Govt. norms there is a condition of regular service of at least 5 years. Please give your comments so that i may get the benefit of gratuity.

Dear Sir,
There is no confusion about applicability of Gratuity to teachers (& the approval of teachers by Boards or Universities doesn't matter) as now Gratuity is applicable to Teacher ( employee) worked continuously for at least five years.
The Central Government in its wisdom tabled a Bill in Parliament [BILL No: 90 of 2007] on 7th September 2007 proposing to widen the definition of "employee", in order to extend the benefits of gratuity to the teachers and therefore to amend the Section 2[e] of the Act.
The proposed amendment sought to delete the words, "skilled", "semi-skilled" or "unskilled", “supervisory”, “technical” or “clerical work” and classify the work in only two categories “manual or otherwise”.
'(e) "employee" means any person (other than an apprentice) who is employed for wages, whether the terms of such employment are express or implied, in any kind of work, manual or otherwise, in or in connection with the work of a factory, mine, oilfield, plantation, port, railway company, shop or other establishment, to which this Act applies, but does not include any such person who holds a post under the Central Government or a State Government and is governed by any other Act or by any rules providing for payment of gratuity;'.
The proposed Bill was passed by both the Houses and the presidential assent was received on 31st December 2009. The gazette Notification was also published on the same date. Hence now it is settled that the teachers are beneficiaries of the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. In fact the Act by amending Section 13 has also nullified the effect if any due to judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court had on payment of gratuity.

The best gift we can give our Gurus is to make them aware of their financial rights as per the laws.
Since the laws were amended in 2009, teachers are eligible for Gratuity. Its a lump sum payout and a kind of a loyalty bonus which is given on retirement or on leaving the job to overcome loss of income. The teachers and educational institutes came under the Payment of Gratuity Act in 2009, when our government had amended the act whereby the meaning of an employee was amended in such a way to include teachers also.
The definition of an establishment was also broadened to include educational institutions under the Act. The amendment also said that the teachers should be paid gratuity dues from April 3, 1997 onwards.
But thats the law. The schools and education institutions may not voluntarily abide by these rules as its a huge cash outgo for them. So every teacher ought to know how he or she can claim this financial right.
1. The eligibility for gratuity: The first criterion is that one must have served in an institution for five continuous years before resigning or on retirement. The school or college must have employed more than 10 people in the previous financial year.
2. The Gratuity Figure: Take note of two numbers. The basic salary and the dearness allowance in the year of leaving job or on retirement. Also calculate the number of years (take six months and above as one year) in the service. This is how the gratuity amount is arrived at:
Your monthly salary (Basic and dearness allowance) multiplied by Number of years of service (since Apr 3 1997) x 15/26
3. When does it become due: On retirement from school or college, or on leaving job after 5 years of service or on death or disablement.
4. How to apply for gratuity: The onus is first on the school to give it as and when its due. If that doesnt happen, a written application within 30 days along with Form I should be given to the school or college. If one is applying after several years of retirement or resignation, be prepared for a legal battle.
5. Is there is limit on the amount of gratuity: The maximum amount payable under gratuity is upto Rs 10 lakh. Any amount above this will be taxable.
6. How do fight for the right: Teachers ought to arm themselves with various court judgments in which institutions have been directed to pay gratuity dues to the teacher associations.
a. Karnataka High Court Decision in Favor of KarnatakaUnaided Schools Managements Association (KUSMA)
b. Supreme Court judgement in favour of Association of College and University Superannuated Teachers, Maharashtra
