I seek advice. I was appointed by HCL Infra for their Chennai location from a different city through a consultancy. All my interviews were held on a single day, and they were conducted face-to-face by HCL HR directly. I received the Offer Letter from HCL via email. They asked me to complete all the BGV (Background Verification) formalities online, which I did in May 2014. They gave me a joining date of 30th June 2014, and I joined the company on that day.
After working there for 15-20 days, the HR person informed me that I might need to leave the company because my graduation was not from a UGC-recognized college. Before joining, I had taken an email confirmation from the HR confirming that my graduation was acceptable. I provided my college name, diploma name, and mode of education in the email, and the HR confirmed that my graduation was fine, which is why I joined. However, another HR partner stated that the HR person wasn't supposed to have that information and suggested I shouldn't blame HR.
They informed me that they forwarded my request to the BGV Council, and if an exception was made, I could continue working with HCL; otherwise, I might have to leave, and the process could take any number of days. Due to the job insecurity, I voluntarily resigned.
I would like to ask if I can file a complaint against the company and seek compensation. I have an email from the company's HR confirming that my college, diploma, and mode of education are acceptable and that I could join based on that information.
Kindly assist.
