Dear Seniors,
i read a judgement of Karla Hogh Court that neitherthe C.L. act , nor the payment of gratuity act provide that the employees engaged through the contractor will be entitled to gratuity from the principle employer and as such the principle employer will not be liable to pay gratuity to the employees engaged through the contractor.
So i think those employee are not liable for gartiuity.
Thanks
Amar Singh
