Hi,
I agree with Shri K. Ramachandra of Bangalore. As per Gratuiity Act, if an employee completes five years of service in an organisation, he automatically become eligible for payment of Gratuity under the Act. One more feature is there that it is not necessary that an employee has to request for payment of gratuity from his ex-employer. If company received any request letter from such ex-employee, the amount of gratuity is to be paid to him within one month from the date of his resignation otherwise, if the ex-employee goes to court for payment of gratuity, company will be in trouble. Secondly, if the resigned employee does not make any formal request for payment of gratuity, even then the company has to make the payment of gratuity within one month from the date of his resignation. In case, if company does not have any address of the ex-employee, the amount of gratuity is to be deposited to the concerned government authority.
Regards.
