I was abruptly fired from my job as General Manager for Land and Legal at a well-known company in India. I joined in April 2011, but wasn’t informed about their ‘Own your car’ scheme until April 2013, when they started deducting Rs. 20,000 per month from my salary even though I didn’t buy a car. I protested against this on January 15th, and three days later, HR sent me a letter accusing me of submitting five fraudulent travel bills dating back to November 2011, giving me only 30 minutes to respond. When I didn’t reply in time, I was terminated on January 29th. What legal options do I have?

You have grounds to challenge your termination as it seems unfair and possibly retaliatory. You can file a claim for wrongful termination and seek compensation for lost wages and benefits. You can also challenge the car scheme deductions and the alleged fraudulent travel bills in court.
