Few Gratuity Query

My point was (sorry, if the way I said made it look any different) is that if there is any dispute as to whom the money should go, just inform the authority under the act (mostly government labour officer) and let him handle it. If the nominee is stated and there is no counter claim, it's ok. Otherwise it causes a major problem and raises the risk of having to pay additionally later.......
I specifically put this point, first because most people do not realise this danger (and I have seen it happen a few times) and secondly because its a natural extension of what you posted.
Again appologise for my choice if wording if that was wrong.

Hello,
