Hi,
this post is regarding the problem faced by my aunt.
She was a psychology teacher in Punjab for the graduate students for a govt. aided college since 1975. she retired last year. when she joined the gratuity limit was 3.5L. but when she retired the gratuity limit had already been increasded to 10L by sixth pay commission. Now, the college is not ready to pay the gratuity by the revised rates. This is leading to quite a loss for my aunt who us in dire need of the remaining amount.
Plz suggest what should be done to tackle it.

Having served in a government college/ government aided college, she should have received gratuity as per service rules at the rate specified in the sixth pay commission (as already stated) It is not payable by the college but it is payable by the state government and as such the college has nothing to do with it. Had it been a case of any private educational institution, the matter would have been different and in that case the rate of gratuity would have been Rs 10 lakhs and not the amount as per sixth pay commission.
My doubt is whether the gratuity as per pay commission is Rs 10 lakhs or less than that? The revision of gratuity from 3.5 lakhs to Rs 10 lakhs has happened only with regard to employees covered by Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and not to employees whose salaries and benefits are paid by government. Please cross check and revert back.

hi,
This is one mail my aunt wrote to the authorities.....please have a look and suggest what all actions can be taken..
This is just a part of the letter...Let me know if any othjr info is required...our help is sincerely appreciated..
Respected Sir/Madam, With due regards I would like to bring to your kind notice that I have been denied by the college authorities to pay the revised amount of gratuity on an invalid ground.
According to the Principal <name omitted>: “The maximum limit of gratuity was raised to `10lacs from existing `3.5lacs came into force only from 24th May 2010 & not earlier. Since you retired from the college much before the said date and were paid gratuity according to law as applicable to you at that time, no further amount is payable to you.” “The financial control over our college is that of DPI Colleges and any financial instructions which are to be followed by the college are that of the DPI and none else.”
As Per Sixth Pay Commission report: “The upper limit of gratuity to be paid to teachers should be revised to `10Lacs from present `3.5lacs as has been done for central government employees by the Government of India.” “Pay Commission reiterates that its recommendations be implemented by all the universities and colleges in all states fully as a package and not partially w.e.f a single date namely 1st January, 2006 and not from any date later than this.” Keeping in mind the importance of uniform implementation of its recommendations The Pay Review committee recommends – “All recommendations to be implemented in Toto as a package w.e.f 1st January, 2006.”
As per Fifth Pay Commission Punjab: “Implementation of the revised pay scales from Jan1, 2006. The revised scales of pay and age of superannuation as provided in clause 2.1.0 above may also be extended to universities and other higher educational institutions coming under the purview of the state legislature and maintained by the State Government subject to the implementation of the scheme as a composite one in adherence of the terms and conditions laid down in MHRD notification provided as Appendix I and in the MHRD letter no. F.1-7/2010-U II dated 11 May 2010 with all conditions specified by the UGC in these regulations and other guidelines.” To examine the principles and the date of effect there of that should govern the structure of pay allowances and other facilities/benefits, whether in cash or in kind, to all categories of employees in the state of punjab to whom the punjab civil services rules, volume 1, part 1 apply except the employees whose scales of pay have been determined on the recommendations of the University Grants Commission. It is clear from all the above references that the amount of gratuity is revised by the Sixth Pay Commission along with the pay scales w.e.f 1st January, 2006. I was getting my salary according to revised pay scale at the time of retirement, so I am also eligible for the revised amount of gratuity on the date of my retirement. The statement given by the principal seems to be misleading.
