My boss won’t accept my resignation, even though I gave them the proper notice period. My contract says I need to give two months’ notice or pay them that amount. Can they really make me pay even though they rejected my notice?

Under Indian law, your employer cannot force you to pay the notice period amount if they have rejected your resignation. Refusing to accept your resignation is a breach of contract on their part, and you are not obligated to fulfill their contractual terms in such a situation.
