I’ve been working at a private IT company in Bangalore for the past 8 months. When I joined, I had 5 other job offers, but I chose this one because it’s a product-based company and I thought I’d be secure for at least 3 years. Now, after 8 months, they’re telling me the company is doing well financially and I need to leave within a month! It’s incredibly tough to find a new job in such a short time, especially with my wedding coming up next month. I’m feeling very stressed and lost. What does Indian law say about compensation for being fired in this situation? Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Indian law does not mandate compensation for termination within the first year of employment, even if the company is performing well. You are entitled to the salary for the remaining period of your notice period. Consult with an employment lawyer to understand your rights and options, especially regarding the impact of your upcoming wedding.

I’ve been working at a public sector bank in Delhi for the past four years. Recently, I got an exciting job offer from a private financial company and submitted my resignation. The bank’s rules say they can’t accept resignations if there are pending disciplinary issues. I handled some bad loans in the past, and there were ongoing investigations about that. My resignation was denied until those investigations ended. I fought hard to get the matter resolved, but the process was very slow. Eventually, I was cleared of any wrongdoing. Then I tried to resign again, but now the bank is holding it up, saying they might start new disciplinary proceedings regarding some other bad loans. I’ve been trying to get this sorted for over a month, even reaching out to the highest officials. What legal options can I explore to move forward with my new job?

I’m the Head of Content and Social Media at a digital agency in Goregaon, Mumbai. I was suddenly let go on November 2nd while I was on medical leave, without any warning or explanation. My boss then sent me a screenshot of a personal chat and an audio message on WhatsApp as the reason for my termination. My salary is due on November 7th, and I still have the company laptop with all my emails. Is this considered an illegal termination? If so, am I entitled to my notice period pay (2 months), salary, incentives, and leave arrears? I’ve been with the company for 8 months.

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?
