Degrading my job profile

Hi,

I am a 2013 batch passout, from a premier business school. I was selected on third day of my campus week in november 2012 in a company as 'ZZZ'. I joined the company on april, 2013. Now they are saying that the mentioned profile is not available, and that they would allot a non-management role which has less scope. They are also planning to reduce my salary package. Now I am in deep distress. If they have informed me earlier, that the profile is not available, I would have got another job in my campus placements, but they waited until my college got over, and are saying it now. It has led to a huge loss(opportunity cost, salary package) for me. What legal actions can be taken?

@Mahesh sir, Its not only about salary or finding another job. Finidng another job is easy, I am asking, if there is any legal action that can be taken. The job profile has been moved to a lower level, which has no connection to what was offered. Also the salary for this new profile will be half than the one offered. And this did not happen after 2 or 3 months. They already know that the profile was not available, then why they asked me to join, and did all the formalities like opening of PF account. Emotionally speaking, I have informed everyone about the job, an I also have to pay my education loan.

You can file a suit for damages in civil court and claim compensation. And also for an interim mandatory injunction to appoint you in the same job that they had taken you for.
