Deduction from gratuity

My friend has worked for 12 years in a publishing company as Marketing Manager in Bangalore and he tendered his resignation. When he demanded for gratuity, they initially paid Rs. 25,000/- and balance amount of about Rs. 75,000/- is held by the company stating that he has to recover the money from the customers. My friend approached labour department and now the company has filed objection stating that my friend has not collected dues from the customers and hence they cannot pay the balance gratuity amount. Dear learned advocates, could you please advise as to whether the act of the company is legal? is there any judgement or citation with reference to this case? also, please advise as to how my friend has to defend in order to get the statutory right of gratuity?

Cheque dishonour cases

In Maharashtra, there is huge number of urban coop credit societies. Generally, while sanctioning loans, there is practice among many of these societies to take blank but signed cheques from the borrowers and when loan becomes NPA, these societies tend to use those cheques for recovery of entire loan along with interest by writing themselves total due amount on the cheque and present the same to tbe bank, get the cheque bounced(of which they are 100% sure)and then prosecute the borrower. In fact, they take other collateral security for loan. In this scenario, societies instead of initiating action under sec.101 of co.op. socy act,harass the borrower by way of prosecution under sec.138 of negotiable instrument act in the hope of early recovery as compared to recovery under 101. They think that borrower may pay due amount to avoid prosecution. This may be justified in exceptional cases of willful defaulters. But many a genuine borrowers are unduly harassed. Can such a cruel practice of such societies be contained? Can borrower take a stand that he has not written the cheque except signing it? Kindly advise.

Non release of providend fund claim

Sir,

My younger brother died on 28th Feb 2011, at Coimbatore. He was a Doctor with KG Hospital, at Coimbatore for the past 23 years, being head of the blood transfussion dept and died due to ill health and organ failure, while on duty.

He had nominated me in his Providend Fund A/C, to receive all moneys due, in event of his death.

The hospital forwarded all the relevant papers to the PF dept, in Coimbatore, to help me claim the amount due and I also submitted my details, including proof of my identity/residence, etc. I live in Mumbai. Both my parents are dead long ago (mother in 1982 & father in 1984). I have one sister (elder to me, living with her husband & family in Mumbai). My brother who expired, was a bachelor all his life and had never married or had any other dependants or children whatsoever, and no property in his name, or anything. He died at age 54.

The PF dept has not yet (its over 9 months now) settled my claim. They have returned the papers to the hospital (his employer), stating they require a legal heir certificate. I had also provided a copy of the legal heir certificate (which in 1984 I obtained from Coimbatore Tasildar's Office, after my parents died), stating that only us 3 children, were the legal heirs. In spite of this they now want and insist on a legal heir certificate to be obtained for my brother.

I do not understand the logic -- when a person has specifically nominated someone to receive the share/amounts due in a particular case, why they insist on a legal heir certificate now? What is the purpose of nomination, (if this be the case), be it in any matter? As far as I understand, you can nominate any person (not just a blood relation) to receive your largesse...be it your bank balance, fixed deposits, property or any any matter...

I request you to please help and advise, what I should do in this matter? Is it necessary, in the 1st place to produce a legal heir/succession certificate, when you are already named the nominee ?

If so, then how do I go about obtaining this certificate. As I mentioned earlier, I live in Mumbai and ther is no one now in Coimbatore. Pls advise and help. Many thanks,

Nariman Bhote
