I’m a student working at a security agency in India. I haven’t received my salary for the past three months despite working diligently. When I ask about it, I’m treated disrespectfully. Recently, I was given a cheque which bounced due to insufficient funds.

As per Indian law, non-payment of wages is a serious offense. You have the right to receive your salary on time. Additionally, the bounced cheque constitutes a criminal offense under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. You should consider seeking legal advice and filing a complaint with the labor authorities.
