I understand that your company is not paying your arrears amount and is threatening to withhold it if you resign. This is a common tactic used by companies to prevent employees from resigning. However, it is important to know that your employer is not legally allowed to withhold your salary or other dues.
The Payment of Wages Act, 1936, states that an employer must pay an employee their full salary, including arrears, within 15 days of the end of the month. If an employer fails to pay an employee their salary on time, they can be fined or imprisoned.
In your case, the arrears amount is due to you from July 2022. This means that your employer has already missed the deadline for payment. You can therefore file a complaint with the Labour Department or the Industrial Court. You can also take legal action against your employer.
Here are some steps you can take to get your arrears amount:
Talk to your HR department again and explain that you are willing to resign, but only if you are paid your arrears amount in full.
If your HR department is not willing to pay you, you can file a complaint with the Labour Department. The Labour Department will investigate your complaint and take action against your employer if they find that they have violated the law.
You can also take legal action against your employer. You will need to file a case in the Industrial Court. The Industrial Court will hear your case and decide whether your employer is liable to pay you your arrears amount.
It is important to note that it may take some time to get your arrears amount, even if you take legal action. However, it is important to stand up for your rights and demand that you are paid what you are owed.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
