gratuity can not be charged/ assigned. talk employee get cheque in favour of company from employee to settle the amount which employee will be getting after depositing gratuity.

Deposit Rs. 49,000/- and prey the court for guidelines and mention the situation under which orders were delayed. Court has to be informed regarding resignation of the employee.

The payment of Gratuity can not be forfeited wholly or in part since The employment of the employee has not been terminated by speaking order after granting the opportunity of natural justice.........
The forfeiture has been explained in the Act..........
The payment has to be made within 30 days or employer can be penalized as per Sec;9 ( Rs.20000/ and jail time) and made liable to pay interest.....

It is a case of deduction from the employee's salary alone and not from his gratuity or PF or any other terminal benefits. Let the Officer of your organisation decide about answering court on this regards after depositing the amount of 49000/- in hand.
