Hi, I have been asked to leave by my organization. The company has not given me any documentation for this. I have not been attending the office since that day. It has been 2 months, and I have been following up with the company's HR for the reason behind this, but there is no response from them. The follow-up is ongoing via emails. I have received my salary for the working days.
The HR department is forcing me to resign without any reason and telling me that they will terminate me if I don't resign. This has been communicated to me over the phone. I am worried about my bonus, PF, and relieving letter.
Please advise me on this.

Termination Without Documentation: Navigating Your Next Steps
Sorry to state that without any documentation, you have stopped attending your office, and now you want the forum to help you after 2 months. It is the prime responsibility of the HR department to give you the reason for your termination. Now, since you want to start afresh or move on with your career, you will require a relieving letter. If the company issues you a termination letter, it may spoil your career. No one can stop your PF since that is paid from the PF Department.
Clarification on Bonus Eligibility
With regards to the bonus, please let us know whether the same is part of CTC or as per the Bonus Act. In both cases, you are eligible for the payment.
Last but not least, it is always advisable to sit across the table, sort out the issues amicably, and exit smoothly.

Thank you for the immediate prompt.
Bonus Clause in Employment Agreement
A bonus clause is mentioned in the employment agreement. It does mention the Bonus Act. Please advise me if I should resign or ask the company to provide me with the reason. I am not yet terminated, but HR wants me to resign so that they can provide me with the relieving letter. I have not received any documentation from the company.

Bonus and Resignation Advice
If it is as per the Bonus Act and if your salary is within the eligibility, you will receive the bonus during Diwali.
With regards to resignation, it is advisable not to dig the dead body out. Submit your resignation, take the relieving and Full and Final Settlement, and exit smoothly. If you ask for the reason, they may have ample reasons to terminate you, which could waste your time, energy, and potentially harm your career. They can easily terminate you by sending a letter stating job abandonment.
Try to speak to your HR and your line manager to ascertain what went wrong so that you can overcome the same for your future. All the best for your future endeavors.

While Saji has covered all the points that would lead to you getting out of this company and settling down in another job ASAP, I would only REITERATE what he mentioned: "If you ask for the reason, they may have ample reasons to terminate you, wherein you will spoil/waste your time, energy, and your career."
Like the saying goes: "You have only ONE reason to do the right thing, but A THOUSAND to do the wrong thing."
Just don't waste your time and effort, which would be better off being put to use in your new job—especially since you say this company has financial problems. Even if you ask for a bonus [presuming you are eligible], what do you expect—except spending time running after courts? Had the money involved been considerable, then it's a different matter—you worked here for only 1 year.
Just resign—as their HR insists—collect all your dues and docs, and move ahead.
All the best.
