Dear Seniors,
Please help me to guide in a unique issue I have faced. There was one employee who nominated a girl mentioning her as his wife and that they got married in year 2008 (he mentioned a date) but did not submit any marriage proof. In 2012 the very employee passed away due to cardiac arrest. When we check about the nominee, it came to our notice that they did not get married but only when they were child their parents promised each other about their kids marriage in future. We also did not receive any application of Gratuity. After some time the father of deceased employee submitted an affidavit mentioning that the girl who was nominated by his deceased son has got married with someone else and the payment of Gratuity should be made to him as his deceased son and the girl never lived together.
Now what should we do as
1. Gratuity payment is not made even after 2-3 years of death of the employee
2. The deceased employee nominated a girl as his wife even when they actually did not get married
3. The father has submitted an affidavit but has not produced a "Legal Heir Certificate"
Kindly suggest what we can do
Regards,
Vijay
