You have mentioned nothing about the nature of fraud committed by the company with you, length of your service and the reason of your resignation.

Dear Mr Dhingra
I worked in vishv Books Pvt Ltd sahibabad Ghaziabad w.e.f. 01/11/12 to 8/7/17 as computer Operator/ sales coordinator .
Actually , the firm wants to me fried from my job in the month of June 2017. But the company asked me to submit resignation from my side, by orally commitment made through HR of the company that if I give my resignation, I will be paid my dues within one month from the date of reliving but the payment except bonus and leave encashment have not been paid to me as per commitment made at the time of my resignation (personal ground).
I am still unemployed from 8/7/17 and company has not been paid my one month extra salary and Gratuity ( 04 years and 8 months) as committed by HR. So I want to know to whom I address my complaint against said company for not paying my dues.

If the amount of gratuity is not paid to you by the said Books Publishing Company, then you have the right to file a complaint to the Controlling Authority i.e Directorate of Labour, State Government under the Payment of Gratuity Act within the area where the employer’s establishment is situated or where you were working at the time of termination or resignation. Moreover,you can also approach to the Labour Courts to get relief and justice.

Delay in payment cannot be said to be a fraud by the company.
Anyway, what was the total strength of employees of the company?
Also, the company does not seem to be located in Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, as its location is at Connaught Circus, New Delhi. Any reason for difference in address location?

As far as company address concern it is mentioned that working place at sahibabad Ghaziabad but letter regarding appointment issued from badarpur delhi address. Further mentioned here that no pf and esi facility given by the company to me and other staff working with me at sahibabad Ghaziabad. There are above 100 worker in this site but I don't know the strength shown against which company because so many companies shows in paper without registration at the site. My resignation taken by the HR by misleading the fact and give false assurance and commitment.

What exactly is your intent now: Claim forced resignation hence term it as Termination, deemed termination…………..claim reinstatement with back wages, damages, or notice pay/retrenchment/payment of all pending dues or agitate against adjustment of notice pay in FnF and squaring off your dues by HR since you have probably resigned without any notice period……………etc etc ?
What are the irrefutable evidences that you have to support and establish your averments, contentions?
