Gratuity: employers must determine and pay gratuity within 30 days; delay triggers interest and formal dispute procedures. The employer must determine and notify the amount of gratuity and arrange payment within thirty days; failure incurs simple interest unless delay is due to the employee and authorised. If disputed as to amount, admissibility, or entitlement, the employer must deposit the admitted amount with the competent authority, which after inquiry decides the dispute, directs payment net of deposits, and pays deposited sums to the entitled person when appropriate. The competent authority has civil-court powers and its inquiries are judicial proceedings; orders are appealable to the appropriate Government subject to deposit and time-limit conditions.
