My ex-employer in India was struggling financially, leading to late salaries, no bonus payments, and broken promises about payouts. They also enforced a 3-month notice period without pay or deductions from final settlements. My Form 16 was delayed until August, and many colleagues faced difficulties securing loans due to irregular paychecks. Can I file a case against them for mental harassment and to recover my outstanding dues?

Yes, you can file a case against your former employer under India’s Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, to claim your outstanding dues and compensation for the mental harassment caused by the delayed salary and broken promises. You can also claim compensation for the illegal 3-month unpaid notice period.
