My husband passed away four months ago. My in-laws have sent a legal notice to his company about his death benefits. The company is now holding back his gratuity and leave encashment. They say they will release the funds once the matter is resolved, but my in-laws are not responding to the company’s requests in writing. This situation has damaged my husband’s reputation and my own at work, and I’m extremely distressed. What legal options do I have to resolve this?

As the legal heir of your deceased husband, you have the right to receive his gratuity and leave encashment. You can file a legal notice on the company demanding the release of the funds and approach the labor court if the company fails to respond or comply. You can also seek legal advice from a lawyer specializing in labor law to understand your specific options and pursue the matter effectively.
