Our company, established in 2009, operates in the service industry with 53 employees. I am inquiring about the process for opening a gratuity account. Is there a registration requirement for this? Additionally, I would like to understand the significance of Form "A" in the payment of gratuity. Is it obligatory to complete this form, and if so, where should it be submitted?

Hi Deepika, You have to send a notice of opening in prescribed Form A along with a cover note to the Controlling Authority i.e. Labor-cum-Concilliation Officer of your region. Rgds

Thank you, Mr. Jain, for your quick reply. I want to know from the employer's point of view what the procedure is from the very beginning. I have recently read about Form "F" which is to be collected first from the employees.

Dear Deepika,

I think that you are from U.P. In that case, please refer to the P.G (Uttar Pradesh) Rules, 1975.

1) Notice of Opening - FORM A: Should be submitted to the C.A for the area within 30 days of the Rules becoming applicable. [Rule 3(1)]

2) Nomination - FORM F: Should be obtained from the employee in duplicate within 30 days of completion of one year of service and be verified with his service records within 30 days of receipt, and the duplicate copy be returned. [Rule 6]

Dear Deepika,

The Government of Haryana has framed their rules under the Payment of Gratuity Act to be known as the "Haryana Payment of Gratuity Rules, 1972." Form 'A' has been prescribed under their rules, which you should have filled up and sent to the Controlling Officer of the Area within THIRTY DAYS of employing TEN or more persons in your company, which is a mandatory requirement. There is no procedure of registration under the Payment of Gratuity Act. The Government of Haryana has declared their Labor-cum-Conciliation Officer to be the Controlling Officers under their rules.

You have rightly pointed out that the Form "F" is to be collected from the employees. Rule 6 of Haryana Payment of Gratuity Rules, 1972 stipulates that all employees who have completed one year of service shall submit their Form-A within THIRTY days.

I believe the above is clear to you.
