Mr. Dinesh,
First, make an application to your employer requesting payment of Gratuity, including your date of joining and date of leaving. Send it by registered post.
Wait for 15 days, then send a reminder letter to your employer, emphasizing that your initial letter has not been acknowledged and that payment, along with applicable interest, is due.
After another 15 days, send a third letter to your employer, stating that this is a formal notice under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, claiming the amount owed. Notify them that you are prepared to escalate the matter to the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, within your employer's jurisdiction. Send a copy of this notice to the Controlling Authority.
Proceed to approach the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, with all your correspondence and evidence, such as payslips and documentation of your joining and leaving dates. Obtain Form 'N' either directly from the Controlling Authority or by downloading it online. Complete the form and submit it in triplicate to the Controlling Authority, ensuring you retain a copy for yourself. Specify your claim amount in the form. The Authority will review your case and provide a decision. This is the procedure I have followed in Puducherry Jurisdiction for similar claims.

Dear Dinesh Ji,
If your department does not agree with you, you may go to your area labor inspector and submit a request application regarding this. Your labor inspector will assist you in obtaining the gratuity payment.

Dear Dinesh,
Many organizations do not pay gratuity until completion of 5 years of service. Each organization has its standard policies and practices. You can refer to the Madras High Court judgment regarding gratuity grievances. Wait and watch for their statement, then you can proceed with the case in labor court.

Dear All,
Thank you for your valuable insight. Now, from where I see the case, the company is liable to pay gratuity as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
No deduction shall be made on the part of the employee's salary when it comes to gratuity; however, for PF emoluments, in a lump sum of 12% are deducted and a similar 12% is contributed by the employer.
However, there are a few requirements on the part of the employee for claiming gratuity:
1. He should have worked for not less than five years for the employer or in certain cases, four years and in excess of six months. (Please note: the minimum time (days) to consider a year as a continuous year of service is 240 days if working above ground and 190 days in the case of mines). So, here the claim is valid by the employee.
The Gratuity is calculated as follows: (Basic + DA) / 26 x 15 x Number of Years Worked.
Also, for the coverage of the act to your company, if 10 or more persons have been or were employed on any day of the preceding 12 months, then gratuity is applicable.
As for including current amendments, gratuity up to INR 10,00,000 is tax-free, and the maximum gratuity payable should not exceed a total of 20 months' wages.
Hope your query is cleared to some extent. And please, other members, if I am wrong anywhere, please do correct me. I am always open to learning.
