Dear All,
Please help me to clear my concept. Our company is a mining company in Odisha, and due to the stoppage of mining operations, the company had retrenched the employees. I want to know if a company retrenches its employees, is the company liable to pay all the gratuity amount to the respective employees?

You have to pay gratuity provided the employee completed five years of continuous service prior to retrenchment in terms of Sec.4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act. B.Saikumar Mumbai

Can a Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act can file prosecution against the erring employer for non-payment of the Gratuity?

The Controlling Authority under Sec. 11 of the Gratuity Act can initiate proceedings for prosecution by making a complaint to a Magistrate. However, he cannot do it on his own but he shall be authorized by the State Government or the Central Government to make such a complaint. Once authorized, he shall make such a complaint to the Magistrate within fifteen days.
