In how many days shall the Private company pay the gratuity amount?

In how many days shall the Private company pay the gratuity amount after leaving the company after 5+ years? Its been over 2 months but I still haven’t received the amount.

@Quicko Please advice.

My gratuity amount was credited within 25 days after my last working day. Also, I had sent the gratuity withdrawal form to HR by courier about week before my last day at work.

Hello @Jack_R

The employer must pay the gratuity amount within 30 days from the date it becomes payable. This means that if an employee is eligible for gratuity, the employer has 30 days from the date of the employee’s termination or retirement to pay the amount.

Thanks
