Recovering the cost of damage is legal and if the Management is satsified, the same can be done
I saw some comments about depositing the same with Welfare Fund which is not correct. As long as the Management investigates and prove the damage is caused by negligence and a decison taken to recover, the recovered amount comes to the Management and not to welfare fund. In case of levying a fine, then it goes to Welfare Fund
1. Ensure a priper enquiry is conducted to prove the negligence
2. If the negligence is proved, decide whether recovery of cost is a must
3. If the Management still feel recovery is to be made, issue a letter
4. If monthly recovery is to be made ensure, you comply with Payment of wages act
5. If you are levying a fine, the same need to be deposited with Welfare Fund
6. Cost of damage can be rcovered in monthly instalments, or from Bonus or even from gratutity
