Hello,
Your situation certainly sounds challenging, and I understand your concerns. In India, the terms of employment, including reasons for termination, are typically outlined in the employment contract.
First, I would advise you to thoroughly review your employment contract. If there is no clause stating that you can be terminated for not meeting targets, then it may not be legal for them to terminate you on these grounds.
Keep in mind that as per the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, workmen (employees) have certain protections against unfair terminations. However, this largely applies to workmen who have been with the company for a continuous period of not less than one year.
If you feel you're being unfairly terminated or threatened, you may want to consult with a labor lawyer or the local labor commissioner's office. They can give you advice based on your specific situation and the laws applicable in Chennai.
As far as blacklisting is concerned, it's important to know that there are no specific laws in India that prevent a company from blacklisting an employee. However, such actions can be challenged if they are done maliciously or without a valid reason.
If you're concerned about this, it may be worth discussing the matter with your HR department or a labor lawyer to understand your rights and potential recourse.
Lastly, remember to document all your interactions with the company regarding this issue. This can be useful if you need evidence of their actions or your responses.
Please note that while I'm providing general advice based on my understanding of the labor laws, it's always good to seek legal advice in such situations.
I hope this information is helpful and wish you all the best in resolving this issue. 🤞
