What should I do if my salary is withheld?
I have a salary-related issue: My salary was held last month.
Dear Client, If your wages are withheld without a proper and justified cause, first inform the matter in writing to your employer/HR seeking clarification as to the same; if not resolved, you can approach the Labour Commissioner under the Payment of Wages Act or the relevant Shops and Establishments Act, you can also file a case before the Labour Court and if you hold a senior/managing position, you can file a civil recovery suit. I hope this answer helps. For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank You
If your salary was wrongly held last month, then you can send a legal notice to your company. If they do not respond, file a complaint with higher authorities. As a government employee, you can also approach the Administrative Tribunal if it is not resolved soon. Holding salary without reason is not legal. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
