I have also gone through the Gratuity act where in it is mentioned as 5 yrs continuous service when it becomes applicable. However, for subsequent years, it is rounded off as mentioned.
I am facing a different problem. I was employed with an autonomous body under Ministry of Industries, Govt. of India. I believe that the same rules apply for it. However, my organisation did not pay me gratuity even after complletion of 9 yrs and 7 months of service claiming that in Govt. service, Gratuity is not applicable when a person resigns.
I have lodged a complaint with the Asstt. Labout commissioner (Central) in Gujarat where I was posted. However, even after 13 / 14 months I have not received any communication from either of them.
Kindly advice as to what should be my next course of action and how many years of gratuity is applicable to me.
Thanks
