The Supreme Court ruling on equal pay for similar positions can be applied to your case. However, the specific details of the ruling and its applicability to your position in West Bengal Health and Family Welfare Department, including your recruitment year, require further investigation and legal advice. Consulting with a lawyer specializing in employment law would be beneficial.

I was recently stopped by the police and given a fine of ₹200 under Section 165H/117. I paid the fine and pleaded guilty in court. Everything is cleared now. Can I still apply for government jobs in India? Will this affect the police verification process for government jobs in the future? Do I need to mention this on the government job application forms?

Respected sir, I’ve been selected for the Assistant Manager position at BSFCSCL. The advertisement mentioned an MBA/PGDBM qualification, but I hold an MFM degree from BHU, earned in 2012. I understand the MFM nomenclature was changed to MBA (Financial Management) in 2015, as per a Gazette of India notification. Will my MFM degree be considered equivalent to MBA (Financial Management)? If BSFCSCL rejects my candidacy based on this, can I seek legal recourse? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I started working at Eqestar Capital in Mumbai on November 20th, 2014, earning a monthly salary of ₹40,000. However, my salary wasn’t paid until January 5th, 2015. When I inquired about it, my employer told me to leave and promised to settle it later. It’s been over a year now, and despite repeated emails, I haven’t received my due wages. What can I do to get my salary?

I joined my company in January 2016 as an Assistant Manager in HR. I became pregnant in May 2016 and informed my Director in July. However, just a few days later, I was given a performance improvement plan that listed tasks typically expected of a Head of HR, a role I was never told I would be responsible for. The plan stated a performance review would take place by the end of July. My company then hired a Head of HR in late July, who was supposed to evaluate my performance, but he was asked to resign in October due to his own performance issues. Now, in my eighth month of pregnancy, I’m being pressured to resign immediately, again citing performance concerns. This all feels unfair as I had never received any performance-related feedback before my pregnancy announcement.

I started a new job, but left after only a few days. The company sent me reminders and eventually a termination letter. Now, eight months later, they want me to pay three months’ salary for the notice period, which was mentioned in my appointment letter. Is this legally allowed in India? What are the possible consequences, and what can I do to address this? I don’t need an experience certificate from them.
