I worked in a well-known private educational institution for five and a half years, from July 2009 to March 2016. I received my experience certificate and security deposit, but haven’t received my gratuity payment. I’ve spoken to the HR Head about it both verbally and through email, but haven’t received a response. What are my options in this situation?

You are entitled to gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, as you worked for over five years. You can send a legal notice demanding payment, and if that fails, file a claim in the Labour Court within three years from the date of termination. You can also seek assistance from the Labour Department.

I worked at a school for seven years. When I was pregnant for the first time, they gave me unpaid leave. However, they refused leave during my second pregnancy, even though they assured me they would call me back. I left in August 2014, and they cleared my PF in February 2015. I later learned about gratuity and, after arguing, they paid it in August 2015. I was five months pregnant at the time and want my job back. I don’t have an appointment letter, but I have an experience certificate signed by them. They won’t pay gratuity, bonus, or leave encashment, but they did pay my gratuity after I showed them legal papers. Can I do anything to get my job back?

Our small business hired someone based on a referral, without signing a contract. She left abruptly after a month without any notice. We couldn’t reach her by phone or WhatsApp, and she blocked us. She also took our office phone, which we use for client calls. She returned it after a few days, but it was damaged. Now she’s demanding money and making threats through someone else, using harsh language. We already paid her some money upfront. What legal options do we have in India?

Next Article I booked a wooden sofa on January 17th, 2015, paying an advance. The promised delivery was the first week of February 2015. I didn’t receive any updates from the vendor, so I had to call several times. Each time, they promised a new delivery date, which never materialized. Finally, after many calls and follow-ups, they delivered the sofa on March 15th, 2015, and I paid the balance in cash. The vendor collected VAT but hasn’t provided the invoice despite my requests. Where can I file a complaint about this delay and lack of invoice?
