I served in an Infrastructure company as Deputy Manager for 5 Years 10 Months. I served them notice of resignation three months in advance as per company rules.
My last day of work in the company was February,15th,2014 (well within the 3 months notice).However,since the company is not in sound financial health,they delayed my payment of gratuity.
I received the cheque for Gratuity Amount on September,16th,2014.Though the amount of Gratuity was accurate I received the same after a delay of 7 months.
As far I know the Gratuity shall be payable by the Employer within 30 Days from leaving the Company.Since I have received the gratuity after a delay of 6 months from the due date,can I claim interest on delayed receipt of Gratuity Amount ?
My company's registered office is in Fort,Mumbai.
Kindly advice the appropriate authority/forum/tribunal for claiming the interest on delayed receipt of Gratuity ?

On behalf of Rahul Mukherjee.
