Whether the teachers / lecturers of a private unaided institutions are eligible for payment of gratuity under payent of gratuity act 1972? If yes, to whom to contact if the institute denies to pay gratuity?
I came to know that the parliament recently amended this act. Is it correct?

No they are not employees under section 2(e) of the Payment of Gratuity Act and hence not eligible. I would cite the decision of SC in Ahmedabad Private Primary Teachers Association
