If your mother declared you as her "nominee" in her declaration form, you should definitely be getting those benifits from  KPTCL, but you cannot claim interest  and compensation for the delay caused and hence it can be treated as an "administrative delay" while processing your application. It is better to made a "REMINDER" to the officials of KPTCL.

Gratuity:

 

Payment of Gratuity Act 1972: The claimant is entitled to interest @10%/pa for the delayed period.

If it is not paid within 1 month you may approach Controlling Authority of Gratuity.

Download Gratuity Rules of KPTCL.

 

 

FBP: Check details as stipulated in policy of KPTCL.
