Gratuity - Gratiuty Act [Thread 286580]

To All,
1) Kindly let me know what are the procedure/ obligations of an employer under Gratuity Act, 1972 regarding registration of the firm etc.
2) We have permanent contractor and his employees are also working since long. Is the contractor also bound to pay gratuity to his workmen? If yes, what are the formalities he has to complete in govt. offices?

Dear Ms. Bakshi,
An employer has to give notice in Form A within 30 days of its (Payment of Gratuity) application to the Controlling Authority.
Yes your contractor is bound for the Payment of Gratuity.

yes, you just need to sent the notice of opening of your establishment with 30 from the opening in Form A to the Controlling Authority Appointed under Gratuity Act.
Notice of change at any time in Form B need to sent to Controlling Authority with in 30 days from any change.
Nomination Form of all employees in Form F need to maintain, revised after marriage in Form G.
Notice of the appointing authority by management who is authorised to recieved notice from any employee etc need to display at notice board with name & designation of person so appointed.
Display of abstract of Act & rule at notice board.
This is the compliance which need do under PG Act. no other kind registration is required.

Dear N N Murthy,
Welcome to CiteHR.
This is to inform you that PG Act do not provide us the forms. Forms are provided by the applicable Rules & therefore first decide which of the central or state Act is applicable in your case & then go through those Rules to have form 'A'
