If your company has not paid your salary or last working dues, you can first send a legal notice demanding payment within a specified time. Under Indian labour laws, an employer cannot unlawfully withhold earned salary. If payment is still not made, you may file a complaint before the Labour Commissioner or Labour Court for recovery of unpaid wages, full and final settlement, bonus, and other dues with interest. Keep appointment letters, salary slips, emails, and bank statements as evidence. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
