Notice of opening, change, or closure of the establishment under the Payment of Gratuity Act

(1) Within thirty days of the rules becoming applicable to an establishment, a notice in Form ‘A’ shall be submitted by the employer to the controlling authority of the area.

(2) A notice in Form ‘B’ shall be submitted by the employer to the controlling authority of the area within thirty days of any change in the name, address, employer, or nature of business.
