I recently resigned from my IT job and gave them a two-week notice. My last day is supposed to be June 5th. But, the company is now saying they won’t let me leave until I finish a new project they assigned me after I resigned. Is this even legal? What can I do in this situation?

Under Indian law, your employer cannot force you to work beyond your notice period unless it’s specified in your employment contract. You can discuss the situation with HR and highlight the unfairness of the assignment. If they don’t cooperate, you can consult a lawyer for further guidance and possible legal recourse.
