Is It Fair for XXXXXX Finance to Demand 3 Months' Salary for NOC and Certificates?

I am an ex-employee of XXXXXX Finance Ltd. I agree that the organization is cheating and harassing the ex-employees. To get a NOC, relieving letter, and original board certificates, all the resigned employees have to wait for at least 4 months. After waiting for a long time, the HR department is asking every employee to pay 3 months' salary, which is not affordable for us. Also, when we try to contact them to know the details, the HR Head is not attending the calls. They have their corporate office in Delhi.

Labor Laws and Notice Period

As per the labor laws, an employee has to serve or pay for a one-month notice period. Also, according to labor law, if an employer is investing in an employee, then a bond is eligible with the condition that before the training or investment, the employee has less than one year of experience.

Please avoid sharing personal contact details. This forum is not a legal entity to address your specific complaints but is for suggestions.

Yes, for me, it is also happening. Now it is the third month after joining. Why are these people behaving like this? We don't know. I have emailed the same from my personal email to the branch as well as HR persons. Nobody is responding to the emails or calls. What is the solution for this? Please provide us with a solution.

Dear Praveen, first of all, do not get tense. I hope you have undergone all the procedures for a smooth exit from the company. Please send a registered letter with acknowledgment due to your company to request your original certificates, relieving letter, and experience certificate. Keep a copy of that letter and the acknowledgment card received from the Post Office duly accepted by your HR team. Keep copies of your resignation letter, clearance certificate, and any other correspondence that took place between you, your management, and your HR department.

With all the above details, you can approach the Labour Commissioner's office (as your finance company is registered under the S&E Act) and submit a complaint against your ex-employer. The Labour Commissioner will take appropriate action if your salary/wage is within Rs. 18,000/- per month. If your salary is above Rs. 18,000/-, please file a civil suit in the district court concerned under which the company has jurisdiction.
