Hi seniors,
One of my colleague had been retired on April 2014 (worked for more than 10 yrs), but unfortunately his gratuity claim was not made on that period. Now he is claiming his gratuity but company told him that as his claim was not submitted within related period, his gratuity will not be available from LIC (company has Group Gratuity Scheme of LIC and his name was removed on last yearly list of employee submitted to LIC) due to late information. So, my question is now that the company's opinion is true or not. If true, is there any solution to get his gratuity from LIC.
