My mother was a Principal at a school in India. She left for a better opportunity, but now the school is refusing to return her job security deposit of Rs.65,000, which they deducted during her first month. What legal options are available to her?

Your mother can file a civil suit in a court of competent jurisdiction demanding the return of the security deposit. She can also file a complaint with the relevant labor department in India, as the school’s refusal to return the deposit may be a violation of labor laws.
