The payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 section 4 of the Act is the most important section in the Act. It explains eligibility to receive gratuity.

Dear Shaukat,

The hike in wages depends upon whether the Scholl is a Government, Government Aided School or a Private School. Since your Basic has not been hiked, i presume that your school must be a private school.

The hike in wages / salary in private entities, are governed by internal policies. But check and confirm whether your Basic and DA is in confirmity with the Minimum Wages as prescribed by the Central or State Government. You ahve got the right to claim the same. Go and visist the local Labour Commissioners Office to find the same.

As regards Gratuity and Provident Fund, you shall be entitled to the same only on resignation. retirement.

Thanks and Regards,

Ashish.
