I was working in an MNC company in Chennai and had over 5 years of experience in the IT industry. I took a two-week leave due to health issues, and my manager was well aware of this. I requested permission for an additional week of leave via email due to my health condition, but he did not respond. Suddenly, a Justification of Absence (JA) was raised, and I received the JA letter a day later. I immediately called my manager and explained the situation as the letter stated I should report to the office by a certain date. I informed him about my health issue and requested leave, but he did not provide a response, only directing me to speak with HR.
When I approached HR, they advised me to discuss the matter with my manager. After three days, I received a termination letter stating that I had failed to respond to the previous communication. I contacted my manager and sent an email, but I am unsure why I was terminated.
Subsequently, I was instructed to liaise with the separation team; however, they did not respond to my queries and only sent automated emails requesting payment and informing me that I would not receive my relieving letter. They stated they would provide an experience letter indicating termination from work, with an additional requirement to pay 75K.
I am deeply troubled by the treatment I have received as an employee. I had communicated my health condition to my manager and assured him that upon returning, I would dedicate extra time to complete pending tasks. I was not involved in any client projects, focusing solely on internal organizational projects, and consistently updated my manager on my health status.
Despite following up for a year to obtain my documents, I have yet to receive them. I am experiencing severe stress and depression, contemplating drastic measures. The repercussions of this situation have hindered my job prospects, leading me to work for a temporary position in a small company where the salary is insufficient to meet my financial obligations. Furthermore, my father's workplace has closed down, placing the responsibility of supporting my family on me. I am unsure whom to approach to resolve these issues.
Please advise me on the best course of action.
Thanks,

I'm really sorry for the situation. If you have all correspondence emails regarding the leave extension, please forward them to the Head of HR. Talk to them and explain the situation in detail. Otherwise, approach a higher official and brief them.
If nothing works out, we should be able to explain the scenario when an opportunity arises in a good company. Please do not get depressed; it is a test of your abilities and will strengthen you.
Good times are ahead. Have faith in yourself.
