Gratuity - Bank Statement

I relinquished my services with an MNC catering company in the month of February'12 after 7 years. When I had requested for Gratuity payment ,the HR dept informed that it is under process and shall be done but the same has not been settled till now.
Now after these many months , they reply me saying " Wehave been told by the authorities that they have stopped issuing cheques towards claim settlements, as per the recent directives of RBI.
Instead, now it is mandatory for member establishments, such as ours, to open an account in the following name, in which the claim settlement amount would be credited by the trust.
The account should be in the name of " XXXXXX Hospitality Services Pvt.
Ltd., Employees Group Gratuity Scheme/Fund".
We would also require a cancellation cheque & a bank statement of the above account, to be submitted to P&Gs Office of LIC, towards realization of our gratuity claims. "
I request the experts to please help me in this regard .

dear your company gratuity is insured under LIC Gratuity policy so as per direction of RBI they will directly send it into the company account and company will isssue a cheque to you

Dear friend,
First of all verify with LIC Gratuity Fund office whether your name is included as a serving employee for the purpose of gratuity. If yes no problem obtain necessary forms from them and submit them to your erstwhile employer for the gratuity payment. Supposing your name is not in LIC Gratuity Fund list then you have to directly file your claim papers to your employer and wait exactly for one month, thereafter you are eligible to claim interest for delay in settlement of gratuity amount.

Dear Sir,
I worked for an public sector undertaking for 33 years. I applied for pre-matured Retirement,and the company accepted it on 2nd DEC 2006. since the enhanced gratuity was applicable effective 1st jan 2007, can i seek this enhanced gratuity having served the organisation for such long period ?
Thanks and regards
