A.Dear Client,
Here are some general steps you can consider:
1. Review your employment contract: Carefully examine your employment contract to understand the terms and conditions regarding gratuity and other benefits. Ensure that you comply with any notice period or other requirements mentioned in the contract.
2. Communicate with your employer: Send a formal communication to your employer reminding them of your resignation and requesting information regarding your gratuity and other benefits. Clearly state the date of resignation and any relevant details regarding your service period, as this will help calculate the gratuity amount.
3. Follow up in writing: If you do not receive a response within a reasonable time, send a follow-up letter or email. Request a written acknowledgement of your resignation and specifics about the gratuity payout process.
4. Consult the labor department: If your employer fails to respond or denies your rightful entitlements, you can approach the labor department in your jurisdiction. They will provide guidance, investigate the matter, and take necessary action to resolve the dispute.
5. Legal recourse: If all attempts to resolve the issue amicably fail, you may consider seeking legal advice from a labor lawyer. They can help assess your case, explore legal options, and represent you if the matter needs to be pursued in court.
Remember to gather and retain any relevant documentation related to your employment, such as appointment letters, payslips, bank statements, and proof of resignation, as they may be required to support your claim for gratuity and other benefits.
Thank you.

A.Dear Client,
From the query it is not transpired when you joined the Company and how much time you served the Company before tendering your resignation. The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 requires a minimum of five years of continuous service (as defined u/s.2A of the Act) under the same employer to make an employee or worker irrespective of status/nature of employment eligible to receive gratuity from the Employer. The Act provides for payment of gratuity at the rate of 15 days wage for each completed year of service subject to a maximum of Rs. 20 lahks. The component of Gratuity is only (Salary + DA( * 15/26* total number of services of the employee. In this case, the service years are not rounded off to the next number. Under Rule 7(1) of the Payment of Gratuity Rules, 1972, 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, within thirty days from the date the gratuity became payable, in Form 'I' to the employer who is duty bound to disburse the gratuity within 30 days of cessation of employment of employee or claim made by an employee. After the completion of 30 days, the employer has to pay you not only the gratuity amount but also the simple interest accrued for the delay in payment of the gratuity. In case of any dispute, reach out to the office of the concerned Labour Commissioner who is the controlling authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, for filing a complaint for non-payment of gratuity or anomaly in computation of Gratuity against the employer.
