After a long period of thinking, I decided to post and ask for help on this topic. This is my first experience in my career where I have come across facing this issue. I worked in a product startup for 6 months; unfortunately, I had to quit due to their strategy to focus on service projects and stall the product. I am someone who wants to work on a product and enhance the experience rather than working on various projects.
Even though my notice period was 2 months, upon my request, I was relieved after 22 days from the date of submitting my resignation email, which was instantly approved. I served until the 28th of June, which means I should be paid for 28 working days. I received my experience and relieving letters very promptly.
After sending a polite email from my side, the reply I received was unsatisfactory, and they only paid me a quarter of what was due. Additionally, there are former employees of this organization who have yet to receive their final settlements, and I am concerned that I could be one of them. Furthermore, the provident fund is not yet active as per the records.
One rule I have generally come across online is the 45-day rule, which means I should be paid within this duration.
I would like to request advice from experts here. Since everything has been handled legally on my side, could you recommend the next steps I should take? Please point out if I came across as rude or had negative thoughts while leaving the company.

Regarding PF, did the company deduct PF and not deposit it with the EPFO? If that is the case, then just lodge a simple complaint stating the facts with all details regarding the deduction of PF before the EPFO.
