I’ve been working as a department manager in a private company for over 6 years, earning around 45 thousand rupees a month. Recently, I was asked to resign. I’ve heard that after 5 years of service, an employee can’t be fired unless there’s a serious misconduct issue. Is this true? What legal options do I have? I’m keen to keep my job.

While there’s no specific law preventing termination after 5 years of service, employers must follow due process and provide reasonable grounds for termination. You may have legal recourse if the termination was unjustified or without proper notice. Consult an employment lawyer to understand your specific rights and options.
