Leave In Notice Period

I had served a company for 7 months, wherein I resigned during my notice period. I had 10 Paid Leaves and 5 Sick Leaves for the year. However after 4 months of service I had availed 10 leaves which was approved by my manager. Now after one month of my last working day, they are asking me to pay for those extra 5 days leaves which I availed addition to what was alloted to me. Ideally since I served only 7 months they are considering 5 leaves as per pro-rata. Now this is not mentioned either in their policy, or in the offer letter.
Nobody even informed me when I resigned and not even when it was my last day. They even provided me the relieving letter.
Per me, had they informed me at the time of availing the leave, I would had cut down my leaves.
Please suggest.

Well, isn't it obvious that you can't exceed leaves? I am surprise that how your company even gave you reliving letter.

Yes, I agree Monica.
But these things should had been settled at the time of availing leaves, or atleast when I resigned.

Tell me one thing do you really wants your manager OR HR to remember your leaves? isn't it your duty ti manage your leaves?

Hellow, you must be thankful to your HR for allowing you
leave on prorata basis for
just serving the organisation
for 7 months. Infact it is the duty of the individual also to enquire
before availing leave. Always one should not blame the Orgn.or HR. One should mind the self responsibility
also.
