Hi,
My last working day with my previous organisation was 17 March 2017. I got my Full and Final settlement in April. It is May now but still my Gratuity amount hasn't been paid. I had enquired from the HR and I was told that I will get in 45 days. I am not aware of the procedure to claim Gratuity. I would be oblidged if anybody from the forum can guide me.

The employer is required to pay gratuity within 30 days from the last working day.
If he does not do so, you can file a complaint with the authority under Payment of Gratuity act, which mostly is the labour commissioner. He will then ensure the payment is made.
There is a specific format for filing the complaint which is given in the act (but the commissioner office will also have the format)
You are required to file form I with your employer to claim gratuity. However if it is stated in your final settlement letter then commissioner will not insist on filing form I
You may wait for the 45 days that your HR team promised or proceed with the complaint, depending on how much you trust your former employer
