1. Just expressing to quit in a fit of anger does not amount to resignation of an employee working for 18 years,
2. You need to have his proper resiagation,
3. On receipt of his resignation letter with proper notice, you shall have to make ready to settle all his dues on the last day of his working,
4. On the last day of his working , you should settle all his dues and issue him a release order.
Dear Sir, Got it . Should I go for Settlement of Employment in writing , on a plain paper or a non judicial stamp paper , as I have to pay gratuity and un paid salary of previous month .

1. No, this is not the way an employee is released legally,
2. Follow the procedure suggested above first,
3. Pay all the dues through cheque/DD.
Based on the employee's resignation letter, the date on which he desires to be relieved has to be looked into. If there is a notice period, on either side, i.e.,employee & employer, check that with reference to the desired date of relieving and act accordingly. Then you have to prepare the acceptance of resignation letter and the date of relief of the employee from the service of the company and inform the employee and name the other employee who should take charge of his work. The employee has to prepare an inventory to show what all the official documents are there in his possession and hand over all the official documents & petty cash, if any, to the other employee who is taking charge in his place. Then the employer has to prepare the resigned employee's dues like Salary due, Leave encashment due, Bonus due, Gratuity due etc.. and any recoveries to be made out of this due amount. PF forms have to be filled and to submit the same to PF department. Any important pending work can be got done from the employee, before he is relieved. Payment due to the employee have to be made through crossed cheque or DD only and obtain acknowledgement for the same from employee and also a paper publication of public notice, if need be, informing the public that such & such an employee is no longer in service with us from such & such a day and any acts or things in relation to the company which are committed by the employee subsequent to the date of relief from the company is not binding on the company.
Dear Sir, On a plain paper we have made draft for SETTLEMENT OF EMPLOYEE which contains the amount due as salary, unpaid salary, Gratuity and shall be signed by both Employer & Employee and a separate RECEIPT for Crossed cheque for receipt of final payment. My question : Is this enough in normal course or we have to get all the above things on stamp paper.
