2]If company deny and employee left then they freeze experience letter and relieving letter is it ok as per indian laws? (In appointment letter there is no clause for experience letter and relieving letter)
3]Can Employer freeze PF forever?? Is there any way to withdraw PF without transferring it into new PF account.(As new employer created new pf account)
4]Can employer take any action if employee left organisation less than 30 days (Complete Notice period) if yes then what it will be?
5] Cant I (employee) get experience letter and relieving letter ever?

1. As per Indian law employer can't force employee to work for even a single day. Now a days employer are doing lots of things against the law like forcing employee to serve complete notice period, holding salary, relieving letter and exp letter.

2. Holding relieving letter and salary is against the law.

3. No one can touch your Pf at all. PF is the only this that is completely your. Even if you file bankcurreptcy or if face sevre punishment ..... govt can't take yor PF.

4. Campany will no do anything. Will send only one letter. that will not have any legal importance.

5. tough question. Depends on the HR...... but for sure you will get if you go to the labour court.

At present i am in the same situation..... where I have left company and company didn't pay me last month salary, exp letter and relieving letter.

I have sent legel notice to employer and awaiting you reply. If that don't reply and clear my dues then I am planning to go in court. I am claiming 5 lacs for mental harrassment.
