Is It Fair for My Company to Deduct Paid Leave Without Notice After Resignation?

Hi respected all, I just need your help. I have been working in a private limited company for the past 2.5 years. During this time, I have only taken my weekly off and have not taken any extra leave. Unfortunately, I had to resign on 06.02.2016, with my last working day being 09.02.2016, due to a family problem. I had to give short notice as my date of joining was 06.09.2013, and I only took weekly offs. However, the company deducted all my paid leave without informing me and transferred my full and final amount directly to my bank account without any confirmation. Please reply... Thank you.

The Shops and Establishment Act and the Factories Act provide for enactment of leave on discharge of an employee from service. Therefore, the leave policy of the company must also provide for leave encashment on resignation. Please verify with your former company whether the full and final settlement also contains details of leave encashment, and if so, how much.

Alright, I have corrected the spelling, grammar, and formatting of your text:

"Ok, can you confirm if a company directly transfers the Full and Final (F&F) amount to the employee's bank account? Is there any confirmation required from the employee's side?"

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
