Dear Naveen,
Strictly according to the Payment of Gratuity act, 1972 you are not entitled to any gratuity but according to the Judgement of the Hon'ble High Court you may claim & contest the case before the Controlling authority under The payment of Gratuity Act of your area with the help of a lawyer if the management did not pay you the gratuity amount.

Dear Sir,
Thanks for guidance. Please further guide - Is Assistant Labout Commissioner of City, where HO of company is situated, the Controlling and Competent Authority, where case can be put?

Dear
In my opinion you are to approach the Authority where you are working. You may contact the Labour office of that area & inquire about the officer who is vested with the power of hearing gratuity claim cases.
