I’ve been working as a District Manager for a pharmaceutical company in Mumbai for the past two years. When I resigned, I gave the required notice period. However, they’re now saying they’ll deduct three months of my salary, even though my contract specifies two. I haven’t signed any additional documents regarding this. I’m willing to pay the two months stipulated in my contract, but is their demand for three months justified? Can I take this matter to the labour court?

Under Indian law, your employer cannot unilaterally increase the notice period beyond what’s specified in your contract. As you have fulfilled the contractual notice period, you are not obligated to pay for an additional month. You can certainly approach the labour court if they continue to deduct your salary unjustly.

Respected Sir, I’m a doctor pursuing MD at a government medical college in India. I’m on an in-service postgraduate program, meaning I’m a medical officer deputed by the Public Health Department for my MD. I recently received an appointment letter for a Central Government medical officer post and want to leave my MD seat. My deputation order states that leaving the PG seat would require me to reimburse the salary for the time I’ve worked. However, the medical college is demanding 16 lakhs, citing the lapse in their PG seat. Could you advise on the legal aspects of this situation? I can manage to pay 8 lakhs now. Is it possible to pay the remaining 8 lakhs later?
