If you are covered by payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 employer can not do so, however if you company has framed separate Gratuity scheme in such a case the act is not applicable on you so in such case better check scheme deed and standing order

Dear manmohan

As far as my knowledge is concern as per gratuity act 1972, the gratuity of an employee, whose services have been terminated for any act, willful omission or negligence causing any damage or loss to, or destruction of, property belonging to the employer, shall be forfeited to the extent of the damage or loss so caused.

 

However Misappropriation falls under this condition or not is still doubtfull.

 

if it is, then employer can forfiet the amount of gratuity to the extent of lose cause to him.

 

 

 

Pls check and revert
