My company recently laid me off, stating that the company is running at a loss. They did not pay me the notice period salary, gratuity, or any other dues. Furthermore, they failed to provide me with my relieving letter.
What steps can I take to obtain my salary and all outstanding dues, including the relieving letter? Your urgent assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Company's Intentions and Employee Rights
I think the company here is lying. Had there been genuine financial difficulty, the general or natural response should have been to give at least a good-rated experience letter to the employees so that they would be able to get other jobs as soon as possible.
Gratuity, salaries, etc., may not have been paid due to genuine constraints, but the intent to keep the employees happy to the extent possible would have driven the management to ensure the employees settle down elsewhere faster if the financial difficulties were genuine.
We keep getting such requests from HR managers whenever they decide to lay off an employee, for whatever reason(s), showing another option to him or her.
And here's a company that doesn't wish to do even the little they can afford to.
@Vinus8: I can't see any other way but to go legal for you and others, but unless all of you go together, the fight may be tough. Such managements tend to adopt a 'divide and rule' policy adeptly.
All the best.
