I joined a company a few months back and had to leave it abruptly because the kind of job profile offered was very different from the kind of role promised . Further there was no proper HR or redress-al mechanism as most of the HR's were located in different offices and I was not comfortable with the environment there . I discussed with my manager at that time and with his agreement I sent him an email and stopped coming to work as it made no sense and I was kept without work for a long time . I also sent back the badge and laptop to the company and received acknowledgements for the same .
The HR called me after week and threatened me with legal action for not serving notice period of one month according to offer letter. . I had not received my salary for the duration of my stay there (about 20 days) and I was not keen on salary either . But they only kept talking about legal action if I dont pay up .. etc .
Recently after about 6 months while filing my IT returns I noticed that my Form 26AS showed a credit of a large amount as salary and also tax credited to Income tax Dept from my PAN account . The situation here is I had not received any money from the company as salary and hence it shows a false statement . And further if I were to consider the salary I would end up paying a large amount as Income tax , since it would then fall in a different tax bracket .
When i asked the company about this , they against started their legal threatening drama and asked me to pay a very large amount as notice pay .
Can you pl suggest what action can I take against this company against the following points
a) Salary not paid
b) False tax credit
Can I now claim the salary amount for my period of stay there , so that I can file my IT returns and corrections properly . I feel the IT Dept would ask me about this and I would have to provide evidence for the amount not paid and I would prefer to avoid that hassle .
If it comes to the worst situation , and I had to pay the notice amount .What would the amount include . Is it just Basic pay Or Basic + other components
Pl suggest accordingly and thanks for your time .
