I worked as a Sourcing Manager at a private garment export company in India. Despite receiving the materials the next day, the CEO was extremely rude about them not being in stock earlier. This upset me so much that I resigned after completing my duties. However, the company is now withholding my salary for the days I worked and refusing to pay my arrears. They are claiming I made incorrect orders, but I’ve sent four emails requesting details of these alleged mistakes, with no response. I want to claim what I’m owed, including compensation for the job loss. Could you advise on how to proceed?

You can file a claim for unpaid wages and arrears with the Labour Commissioner under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936. Since the company is withholding your salary without evidence of your mistakes, you may also be able to claim compensation for wrongful termination under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer specializing in labor laws to understand your full rights and the best course of action.

## My Ex-Employer Cut My Bonus: Is This Fair? I joined my previous company in India with a promised CTC that included a Performance-Linked Incentive (PLI). Over time, the company increased the PLI portion of my CTC. Although I negotiated the total CTC initially, my appointment letter had a clause mentioning that CTC could vary based on both my and the company’s performance. Despite exceeding expectations at work, the company’s performance lagged. They only paid 65% of the promised PLI, effectively reducing my CTC. Is this legally acceptable? I’m considering filing a case against them. Additionally, I left the company on February 1st, 2016, after working for 10 months in the fiscal year 2015-16. The company refuses to pay my proportionate PLI as I didn’t complete the full year. Since PLI comprised 28% of my CTC, this would mean a significant loss for me. Can they legally withhold my proportionate PLI?

Next Article My family faced a tough situation when our loan was declared a non-performing asset (NPA) and the bank served us a 13(2) notice. We submitted detailed objections, spanning 48 pages, to the bank. Unfortunately, my mother fell critically ill during this time, so I requested the branch officials to visit her and collect the documents. The Branch Manager received the copies and I even handed over copies for the Chief Managing Director (CMD) and the Account Officer (AO). Despite this, the bank issued a 13(4) notice and the case went to the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT). During the proceedings, the bank’s lawyer acknowledged receipt of our objections but argued that since they were given to the Branch Manager instead of the AO, no reply was provided. We, however, believe that the SARFAESI Act of 2002 clearly states borrowers can submit their objections to either the Secured Creditor or the AO, while the reply should only come from the AO. As the loan agreement was signed with the bank manager, who is the representative of the secured creditor, handing over the copies to him shouldn’t be considered wrong. We believe this case should be revisited due to the bank’s failure to respond to our valid objections.
