Dear Deepak,

First of all I would like to thank you for the great information you supply through the website and podcast.

Right now, I have a situation. My wife (On husband Sponsor) lost her job on due to company's employee redundancy. They have not yet cancelled the labor card and didn't process the End of Service dues. Could you please let me know what is the time limit to cancel the labor card and release the gratuity amount once the employee is terminated?

It is more than a month now and the company has not processed the cancellation. Is there any article I can refer and send it to her company HR so that they will release the amount?

Looking forward for your reply.

Best regards,
Deepak

@deepakpereira07,

The gratuity should be paid before cancellation of the residence visa and labour card. Only then it is possible to cancel the visa as you will sign on a document that mentions 'I have received all dues from the company' or something similar.

okay, got it. Could you please tell me if there is a time limit to cancel the visa after the termination? Isn't the company liable to cancel the visa in 30 days after the employee termination? Please advise.

Gratuity should be cleared before cancellation of your labour card+visa.
