I left my job just two months after joining because the work environment was bad and I was assigned tasks outside my role. I didn’t formally resign or serve my notice period. Now, my former company has sent multiple letters, the latest demanding I pay them Rs. 90,000 within a week or face legal action. I can’t afford this amount. What should I do?

You should contact a lawyer immediately to discuss your situation. Under Indian law, if you were assigned tasks outside your role without proper notice, it could impact the company’s claim for damages. Your lawyer can negotiate with the company on your behalf and explore potential defenses based on your specific circumstances.

My father, a respected CBCE Inspector, passed away in 2011 due to cancer. Our family struggles financially, with only my mother’s pension and my brother’s education expenses. The department denied me a job because my father’s PPF account had a balance exceeding 4 lakhs. Is it possible to challenge this decision legally?

I worked for a renowned company in Noida for over two years. After serving my full notice period, I left. Before leaving, I received a deputation amount because I was working at a client site. The company had emailed stating that if I left before six months, this amount would be recovered at termination. However, I left after four and a half months. During my clearance process, there was no discussion about the deputation amount. I received a “No Dues” clearance letter and experience certificate. Assuming they waived the amount in good faith, I didn’t think more of it. But now, during my final settlement, they’re denying any payment and even demanding money for the statement. After discussing this, they admitted their mistake in not informing me during clearance. Despite this, they haven’t responded to my emails. Should I wait or send them a legal notice?

I worked at a company where I earned around ₹2 lakhs per year. I followed all the procedures for resigning, providing a month’s notice as per my appointment letter, and receiving my relieving letter from HR. They assured me I’d get my full salary, but it’s been a year, and they’re not answering my calls. I filed a complaint with the police, but they only registered an NC and told me to go to court. I have all the necessary documents. What can I do?

Previous Article I recently submitted my resignation, but my employment hasn’t ended yet. The company just announced a pay raise, but they’re saying those who resigned won’t get the back pay. Is this fair? I’m entitled to that money because it’s for my past work, not a new benefit.
Next Article I live in Korkor village, Cuttack district, a small rural area where many people use government land for everyday needs, like parking or walking. I recently built a boundary on some of this land, but some people are complaining about it. They seem to be motivated by local politics, which I’m not involved in. Others use government land too, but only I’m being targeted. I’m worried about this and need help. I don’t have any political connections. What can I do to resolve this situation?
