If the poster is the nominee, they can approach the employer with necessary identification proof to claim the gratuity amount for the deceased employee. In the absence of a nomination, they must make the claim with a legal heir certificate issued by the Revenue Department. In case of multiple claims by more than one legal heir, the employer will deposit the amount with the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, for disbursement after an inquiry.
