Understanding Gratuity, PF Claims, and Labor Laws - CiteHR

I worked in a private polytechnic college for 11 years continuously without any break. I was relieved by the management, mentioning "relieved due to administrative reasons" in the relieving letter on a college letter pad. Is it possible to claim the gratuity for the 11 years? If possible, could you please explain the process to claim the gratuity? I have already received the PF amount.

Eligibility for PF and Gratuity

Is the employee eligible for PF and gratuity, or just one of the above? Are there any forms required to claim the gratuity from the employer? If the employer rejects to pay the gratuity, what is the procedure to claim it?

I am looking forward to your reply. Kindly help me.

You can apply through Form I or by a simple application wherein you mention your Date of Joining (DOJ) and Date of Leaving (DOL).

For the second query, if the employer rejects the gratuity claim, you can approach the Controlling Authority of that area, i.e., the Labour Commissioner's office, for the same.
