Dear Sir,
I have worked in an organization for a period of 4 year 11 months and 10 days ( Includes notice period). The details are as following
Date of Joining: 11- Oct - 2007
Date of Resignation: 27 - Aug - 2012
Last working Day : 20 - Sep -2012
My company asks for 1 month notice period. Which they say that it should be 21 working days notice period.
As per the HR in my case ,
I had given a notice on 27th evening. And left on 20th evening of sep month, which is 18 days notice, and I took off for 1.5 days in the notice period, so my notice period was 18 - 1.5 , which is 16.5 days. As per company policy, I should give 21 days notice. So I was 4.5 days less notice time.
I had got 5.5 days of leave left, which the company needs to pay me for. So 5.5 - 4.5 days, company need to pay me for 1 day extra .
And they paid it.
I am asking for the gratuity bonus because I came to know that i am eligible for gratuity. But my company says that I am not eligible cause I have not completed 5 years in the organization.
I want to know if I am eligible for it or not. And if i am eligible , how can i claim for it if my company deny to give it.
I will be thankful for valuable suggestions.
Thanks

Dear Dinesh
Just send a reminder to your employer immediately and attache the xerox copy of Form-I which you had send to him 20 days before through registered post and wait for a week. If you didn't get any response u can send an application in the prescribed Form 'N' under Payment of Gratuity Act to Controlling Authority i.e. Labour Officer of the region for direction.

Hi Dinesh...
As per the Payment of Gratuity Act once you complete 240 days in the fifth year i.e. 8 months you become eligible for gratuity payment.
As per your case since you have completed 8 months, you are eligible for it.
Hope that helps!!

Once you have completed 240 days in last year of service ....you become well eligilble to claim gratuity....just post a written letter to your previous company with the above reference given by me & even mentioned in gratuity act....so dont go straight away for any kind of legal action...jus resolve the issue out of court by awaring them about the actual law...after that if there is no response you can go for legal action
