Reading: I joined a big company in Gurgaon in May 2016. To get the job, I presented fake salary slips for my previous employer, showing a higher salary than I actually earned. The company found out last week and asked me to explain. I wrote a confession and signed it. They sent me home and said they’d contact me in a few days about what happens next. They took my ID card. I only worked there for a month. What legal action can the company take? Is an out-of-court settlement possible?

The company can take legal action for fraud and termination of employment. They can file a police complaint, leading to potential criminal charges. An out-of-court settlement is possible, but the company may demand a significant amount to compensate for the losses caused by your misrepresentation.
