icon Am I eligible for gratuity?

I joined an organization on 12th December 2017 and my last working day was 27th August 2021. Am I eligible for gratuity?


A. Hi,
As per the Payment Gratuity Act, 1979, the benefit of gratuity can be offered to an employee only when he/she has completed a minimum of 5 years of employment under the employer. Since, the working period, in this case, is 4 years 15 days, gratuity can not be claimed.

A. Dear Client,

According to Hindu succession law, a deceased person's property is split equally between his mother and the spouse, in this case, the widow, with each getting an undivided half share. With regards to your query, nothing in the Act shall be construed to impact the provisions of any law in existence at the time providing for the prohibition of fragmentation of agricultural holdings, the establishment of ceilings, or the devolution of tenancy rights in such holdings.

Thank you!

A. Dear Client,

Only that property is considered ancestral if it has remained unpartitioned for the last four generations through male lineage. There is a discrepancy between the declaration that registration was completed and the statement that the document was unregistered. It's crucial to know if the older brother is still living. Also, it is important to examine the document that is used to make such a registration.
You may want to discuss the following with your legal representative.

A. Hi,
There is no use even if you produce those bills in the court as there are a lot of defenses that she can use against those arguments. There is a judgment by the Apex court that a charge of rape is not applicable in every case where a man does not marry his girlfriend after a promise. Please contact a lawyer and proceed further.

A. Hi,
If you can prove that the said complaints are false and were fabricated to frame you, you can file a petition to quash the FIR. FIR quashing is the petition filed before High Court for quashing the FIR and all related proceedings against the accused. An FIR can be quashed by the High Court if the Court is satisfied that the accused is falsely implicated and FIR is bogus and frivolous.

A. Hi,
You can approach the court for partition. The right to a share in an ancestral property accrues by birth itself, unlike other forms of inheritance, where legacy opens upon the death of the owner. You can approach a lawyer to file the partition suit.
