Withholding salary for 45 days after completion of notice period is illegal under Indian law. You can file a claim for unpaid salary with the Labour Commissioner or a civil court. You can also seek compensation for mental stress if you can prove it was caused by the company’s actions.

I’ve been working at a company for the past 4 months. They mentioned a probation period verbally, and I trusted them and started working. Each time I asked for an offer letter, my manager gave excuses and promised to provide it later. I received my salary every month, so I kept believing him. Recently, they gave me the offer letter, but some clauses were unclear. When I asked to see the company policy, they said it was still being finalized. They tried to convince me to sign, saying the policies don’t matter, but the letter clearly stated it should be signed on or before my start date, which was 4 months ago. They even threatened to sue me for taking the salary. What should I do in this situation?
