I work in a public sector company in Agra. My father also works for the government here and has been given government housing. I live in a rented room separately. Am I eligible for House Rent Allowance (HRA) – the 20% of basic pay allowance – even though it’s not for tax exemption?

Under Indian laws, you are eligible for HRA even if your father receives government housing. The HRA is calculated based on your salary and the location of your rented accommodation, not your family’s housing situation.

I served in South Central Railway between February 2014 and April 2016. My resignation was submitted on April 1st and approved on April 16th, the same day I left service. Since the Seventh Pay Commission for central government employees was effective from January 1st, 2016, am I entitled to receive salary arrears for the period between January 1st and April 16th, 2016? Additionally, am I eligible for the uniform allowance for the financial year 2015-2016 (disbursed in May 2016)? Finally, am I entitled to receive the Railway Bonus for the financial year 2015-2016 and the arrears for the year 2014-2015, as I was in service during those periods? Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi, I’m working at an IT firm in India. My appointment letter says I need to give a month’s notice if I resign during my probation period. I submitted my resignation three weeks ago, but my employer hasn’t accepted it. They’re now asking me to serve two months, but my letter states one month and I’ve already extended it by a week. So I’m currently serving a month and a week’s notice. My questions are: 1. Can I leave after serving this notice period? 2. If I do leave, can my employer take any legal action?

My father passed away and I joined the police force in 2000, hoping to secure a stable future for my family. However, I was unfortunately terminated in 2007 due to a discrepancy in my high school marksheet. My actual qualification was only Class 5th pass. Could I seek relief from the High Court in this situation?

My employer wants to do an ELISA test on me, but they haven’t asked for my permission first. What are my rights in this situation?

I worked for a Mumbai-based securities firm in Chennai. My notice period was 30 days, but I was only able to work for 20 due to my reporting manager’s delayed departure. My resignation date was postponed because of this, and HR didn’t mention any salary deductions during our phone call. However, they later deducted 10 days’ worth of salary, claiming it was company policy. My resignation was delayed because of a postponed meeting with my state head, but they haven’t addressed this issue. What can I do? The amount deducted is roughly 4500 rupees.
