Dear Seniors,
I have a question regarding delay settlement of gratuity.
I joined in the service on 03.07.1971 and retired on 30.09.2010. My gratuity was settled on 09.07.2013.
I understand that interest is payable for delay settlement, not more than the rate notified by the central Govt from time to time for long term deposits.Can you please let me know the latest rate of interest applicable for this purpose.
Thanks & regards, Gautam 3012.
