My employer says they have sent my gratuity request to LIC, and once they receive it, they will credit it to my account. I wanted to know if there is any source where I can find out whether LIC has credited my gratuity amount to my last company.

Hi, this means your employer has a link with LIC under the Group Gratuity scheme. Normally, LIC will clear such claims immediately, subject to certification from the employer. However, LIC will transfer the money to your employer only, and you need to check with your employer. There is no other source.

Hi, As per Sec. 7(3) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the employer shall arrange to pay gratuity within thirty days from the date it becomes payable to the person to whom the gratuity is payable. You can wait for a reasonable time, and if he is not paying or intentionally delaying without any valid reasons, you can adopt the following approach:
a) Connect with the HR and request them to settle the dues without delay.
b) Send a letter directly to the Managing Director/President.
c) Send a legal notice through an Advocate for quick settlement of gratuity.
d) Lodge a complaint with the Authority for the settlement of gratuity.

Hi Raj, We have been doing this right from the beginning. We send the details to LIC on the last working day of the employee, and within 2-3 days, the gratuity amount is credited to the company account; we then immediately transfer the amount to the employee. All these transactions are then reflected in his FFS statement so that the loop is closed. This has been working smoothly for us. But, of course, one cannot comment on the efficiency or promptness of the particular LIC offices. Take action if the payment is delayed beyond 30 days.
