I’ve been working at an IT firm for almost a year. Due to a family emergency, I needed to take two days off and applied for leave three days in advance. I had enough casual leave remaining. However, my employer refused my request and even threatened to fire me. Upset, I resigned the same day and my resignation was accepted. But when I asked for a relieving letter two days later, my employer refused. What legal steps can I take now?

Under Indian law, your employer’s refusal to grant leave and subsequent threat of termination were likely illegal. You are entitled to a relieving letter, as it’s necessary for future employment. You can file a complaint with the Labour Department and seek legal counsel to pursue your rights, including compensation for wrongful termination.
