Regards There,
I have a query regarding payment of my bonus / Ex-gratia, please have a look on below details for the complete insight of my case;
I have joined an organization on 16th Jan 2008 and place my resignation from the services of this company on Dt. 18th Sep 2010 and my last date was in this company was 15th Oct 2010.
At the time of my joining my Basic salary was Rs.13000 / month and last drawing of basic salary was Rs.14560 / month. During my working in this company, this company announced the Ex-gratia in Oct 2008 (On Deewali) FY 2008-2009, but I did not receive the same due to I did not complete 12 calendar months at the time of Ex-gratia distribution.
Again in Nov 2009 (On Deewali) FY 2009-2010 this company announces the ex-gratia and I received the same because of completion of 12 calendar months at the time of distribution.
And now this company has announced the ex-gratia in Oct 2010 (On Deewali) FY 2010-2011.
I want to know, will this company give me Ex-gratia in my full and final settlement as I have completed 33 calendar months till my last date in this company.
Can I legally force this company for the payment of ex-gratia?
Best Regards

Dear K.K.Gupta,
u wrote that u were receiving basic salary more than 10000/- p.m. So, it is very hard 4 u to receive the amount of ex gratia bcause ex gratia payment is not mandatory and general practice is no payment of ex gratia shall be given to those who left the services, u will be lucky if u get it. Do not try to force them but to request them 4 ex gratia as u had work during the accounting year.
