A “letter of commitment” is not a standard legal term in India. It’s crucial to understand the specific content of the document. If it outlines your job responsibilities and terms of employment, it may serve as evidence of your agreement with the company, but it’s advisable to consult a lawyer to ensure it doesn’t contain any clauses that are legally problematic.

I’m from Chennai and have been out of work since September 2013. I co-signed a loan for my former colleague, worth around ₹4 lakhs, from a nationalized bank. Sadly, he passed away last month.

I joined a well-known personality’s company, a proprietorship, as General Manager. However, the role I was promised never materialized.

The office environment was unprofessional, and I was unfairly terminated with unpaid dues. What legal options do I have against this?
