Implementaion Of Gratuity Act

Ramu Kakitha
Dear Seniors,
Greetings for the day!!!
We at our office are planning to implement Gratuity Act, we have contacted our agents and got quotations for enrolling into Gratuity Scheme... I understand that certain documentation is required to get enrolled into the scheme and am looking for the information about the Gratuity Trust Formation Process...
Could any one help me with the details in Forming the Gratuity Trust like who can be the Trustees ? On what factors we can appoint one person as Trustee ( any eligibility criteria ) ? Can we appoint other than employees as Trustees ?
Thanks & Regards

Dear Nathrao,
Thanks for the response... Yes, I have got the group gratuity schemes of LIC and also the other players in the market...
I am looking to get information regarding the Trustees... I understand from my banker that to form a Gratuity Trust min of 2 - 4 people should be appointed as Trustees, but which is not clear is who can be trustee ? Would there be any eligibility criteria to appoint someone as a Trustee or it can be anyone as decided by the Managament ?
Thanks & Regards

There is no eligibility to be trustee. However, you should appoint some senior and responsible persons as trustees as they will also be the signatories for the trust papers and the payments made under the trust.
Moreover, you need to have trustees from management and worker / employees' side.

To implement Payment of Gratuity Act there is no statutory requirement of Insurance or formation of trust.It is voluntary.The moment you are employing ten or more persons on wages.you are bound by the Act.
