An employee shall be said to be in continuous service for a
period if he has, for that period, been in uninterrupted service,
including service which may be interrupted on account of
sickness, accident, leave, absence from duty without leave (not
being absence in respect of which an order treating the absence
as break in service has been passed in accordance with the
standing orders, rules or regulations governing the
employees of the establishment).
The Appropriate Government, may, by notification, appoint any

officer to be a controlling authority, who shall be responsible for
the administration of this Act and different controlling
authorities may be appointed for different areas.
For the purpose of effectively implementing the provisions of

this section, every employer shall within such time as may be
prescribed get his establishment registered with the controlling
authority in the prescribed manner and no employer shall be
registered under the provisions of this section unless he has
taken an insurance referred to in sub-section (1) or has
established an approved gratuity fund referred to in sub-section
(2).
A person who is eligible for payment of gratuity under this Act or
any person authorised, in writing, to act on his behalf shall send
a written application to the employer, within such time and in
such form, as may be prescribed, for payment of such gratuity.
As soon as gratuity becomes payable, the employer shall,
whether an
application referred to in sub-section (i) has been made or not,
determine the amount of gratuity and give notice in writing to
the person to whom the gratuity is payable and also to the
controlling authority specifying the amount of gratuity so
determined.
The employer shall arrange to pay the amount of gratuity within
thirty days from the date it becomes payable to the person to
whom the gratuity is payable.
If the amount of gratuity payable under this Act is not paid by

the employer, within the prescribed time, to the person entitled
thereto, the controlling authority shall, on an application made
to it in this behalf by the aggrieved person, issue a certificate for
that amount to the Collector, who shall recover the same,
together with compound interest thereon 1[at such rate as the
Central Government may, by notification, specify] from the date
of expiry of the prescribed time, as arrears of land revenue and
pay the same to the person entitled
Where an employer is charged with an offence punishable under
this Act, he shall be entitled, upon complaint duly made by him
and on giving to the complainant not less than three clear days'
notice in writing of his intention to do so, to have any other
person whom he charges as the actual offender brought before
the Court at the time appointed for hearing the charge; and if,
after the commission of the offence has been proved, the
employer proves to the satisfaction of the Court
(a) that he has used due diligence to enforce the
execution of this Act, and (b) that the said
other person committed the offence in question without his
knowledge, consent or connivance, that other person shall be
convicted of the offence and shall be liable to the like other
punishment as if he were the employer and the employer shall
be discharged from any liability under this Act in respect of such
offence.
No suit or other legal proceeding shall lie against the Controlling

Authority or any other person in respect of anything which is in
good faith done or intended to be done under this Act or any
rule or order made thereunder.
No gratuity payable under this Act 2[and no gratuity payable to

an employee employed in any establishment, factory, mine,
oilfield, plantation, port, railway company or shop exempted
under Section 5] shall be liable to attachment in execution of any
decree or order of any civil, revenue or criminal court.
Notwithstanding anything contained in any judgement, decree
or order of any court, for the period commencing on and from
the 3rd day of April, 1997 and ending on the day on which the
Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Act, 2009, receives the assent
of the President, the gratuity shall be payable to an employee in
pursuance of the
notification of the Government of India in the Ministry of Labour
and Employment vide number S.O. 1080, dated the 3rd day of
April, 1997 and the said notification shall be valid and shall be
deemed always to have been valid as if the Payment of Gratuity
(Amendment) Act, 2009 had been in force at all material times
and the gratuity shall be payable accordingly.
The provisions of this Act or any rule made thereunder shall

have effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith
contained in any enactment other than this Act or in any
instrument or contract having effect by virtue of any enactment
other than this Act.

amount is to be recovered, a copy of the certificate certified in the
manner prescribed by the Central Government and specifying the
amount to be recovered to the Recovery Officer within whose
jurisdiction the factory or establishment or the principal or
immediate employer has property or the employer resides, and
thereupon that Recovery Officer shall also proceed to recover the
amount due under this section as if the certificate or the copy
thereof had been the certificate sent to him by the authorised
officer.
(1) When the authorised officer issues a certificate to a Recovery
Officer under section 45-C, it shall not be open to the factory or
establishment or the principal or immediate employer to dispute
before the Recovery Officer the correctness of the amount, and no
objection to the certificate on any other ground shall also be
entertained by the Recovery Officer. (2) Notwithstanding the issue
of a certificate to a Recovery Officer, the authorised officer shall
have power to withdraw the certificate or correct any clerical or
arithmetical mistake in the certificate by sending an intimation to
the Recovery Officer. (3) The authorised officer shall intimate to the
Recovery Officer any orders withdrawing or canceling a certificate
or any correction made by him under sub-section (2) or any
amendment made under sub-section (4) of section 45-F.

recovery of amount has been issued, the authorised officer shall

certificate for recovery has been issued has been modified in
appeal or other proceedings under this Act, and, as a consequence
thereof, the demand is reduced but the order is the subject-matter
of a further proceeding under this Act, the authorised officer shall
stay the recovery of such part of the amount of the certificate as
pertains to the said reduction for the period for which the appeal or
other proceeding remains pending. (4) Where a certificate for the
recovery of amount has been issued and subsequently the amount
of the outstanding demand is reduced as a result of an appeal or
other proceedings under this Act, the authorised officer shall, when

proceeding has become final and conclusive, amend the certificate
or withdraw it, as the case may be.

disclosure or misrepresentation by the claimant or any other
person of a material fact (whether the non-disclosure or
misrepresentation was or was not fraudulent) or that the decision is
no longer in accordance with this Act due to any birth or death or
due to the marriage, re-marriage, or cessor or infirmity of, or
attainment of the age of eighteen years by, a claimant. (2) Subject

aforesaid, direct that the dependants’ benefit be continued,
