Reading: Hi there, I’ve been working for a group of companies since May 2008. They moved me to a different company within the group in November 2012, but I never formally resigned from the original company. I’m planning to leave for a new job in February 2017. My question is, will I still be eligible for gratuity considering my continuous employment with the group since 2008? If they refuse to pay, can I legally pursue it? I’ve worked with them for almost nine years and it would be a significant loss for me if I’m denied my gratuity. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Based on Indian law, you are eligible for gratuity as you have been continuously employed with the group since 2008, even though you moved to a different company within the group in 2012. If they refuse to pay, you can legally pursue it through the labor court.
