Form M is sent by the employer and not by the employee. If the gratuity is not paid you should submit form N to the Controlling authority. Before that you should submit form I to the employer. The same is attached.

There is nothing much you can do in this regard, except to pray that the company no.3 takes it lightly as the PF records show overlap of 2 days. (not one). It is not easy to get the PF record corrected as it would require active support of the previous organisations which they have declined.

KK-Nair is mostly correct in stating that there is little that can be done regarding PF record correction without support from the previous organizations. However, there are additional steps that Jayan VP can take to improve his chances of clearing Background Verification (BGV) smoothly: Points to Consider Read More...

Greetings Zaffar, I wish you had mentioned the logic of paying the employee a monthly gratuity. Is it that when the employee eligible for gratuity leaves, the company has to pay a hefty amount? To offset the sudden load on cash flow, does your company wish to pay in advance? If it is so, then let you Read More...

Mentioning Gratuity or bonus as a part of monthly wages for computing CTC is OK but to indicate it as a part of monthly salary paid is not going help as the legal liability to pay them again on reaching the due stage still exists even if you have paid it prematurely.

It is very common among the low paid workers to ask for salary advance. If your salary day is 1st day every month, normally, we will not allow any salary advance before 15th of the month. The advance so given will be recovered in full from the salary payable for the month. In order to meet the circumstance Read More...
