What is penalty if delay in payment of Gratuity after 30 days of Resignation?

Dear Selvam, belated Payment of gratuity attracts Interest @ 10% Per Annum.

Dear Srinath Sir,
Please tell me what if person did not apply for his gratuity till 2 months. Is it necessary that one should apply for his gratuity to get it from employer?

## As per payments of Gratuity rules 1972-
-An application for payment of gratuity filed after the expiry of the periods specified in this rule shall also be entertained by the employer, if the applicant adduces sufficient cause for the delay in preferring his claim, and no claim for gratuity under the Act shall be invalid merely because the claimant failed to present his application within the specified period. Any dispute in this regard shall be referred to the controlling authority for his decision.
But It is necessary that an employee who is eligible for payment of gratuity under the Act, or any person authorized, in writing, to act on his behalf, shall apply and an application under this rule shall be presented to the employer either by personal service or by registered post acknowledgement due.
Then after that Within fifteen days of the receipt of an application, the employer shall issue a notice to the applicant employees, nominees or legal heir.
Regards,
Amit

Dear Mr Aniket,Employer also got responsibility of informing eligible Employee to submit his claim for Gratuity.Eligible Employee should submit his claim for Gratuity.More than Employee, it is Employers responsibility to get claim & make payment.

Dear sir,
I understand what ur saying.but, i asked employee to give gratuity form.but till now he didn,t .so whatshud i do.

Dear Mr Aniket, you have not mentioned about why Employee has not yet submitted his Gratuity Claim inspite of your reminder? nevertheless, Prepare Employee Gratuity Payment Cheque & intimate the Employee concerned to collect the same after submitting his claim by Regd Post Ack Due without any further delay.You should correspond & build record as Employee Representative

Its not that simple anyways thanks for suggestion. I will do the needful
