Ex-employer refused for Releiving even after holding salary

Dear All,

7 months ago I resigned on zero day notice from a company on the day just before the salary transfer in account. Hence I could not claim the salary for the month. Now when I am just asking for releiving letter from the company they are saying that I have been absent and I will have to pay 1 months salary.

First I was not the confirmed employee they did not give any letter.

Second in appointment letter notice period is of 15 days.

Third I am not even claiming the one month salary I just want smooth exit.

Can a company legally hold 1 month salary or Releiving letter?

Please advice on this as I need Releiving letter or if they will not give the releiving letter then I would like to claim the salary which the upholded.

Can I take any legal action for the same?

Friends please guide regarding this??

Regards

Relieving letter and holding of one month salary are two distinct aspects. Getting relieving letter is your legal right, so you can fight legally.

Dear Mr Vasudevan,

Thanks for your reply. Please tell me if I can claim for my 1 month salary which they with hold for not serving the notice before resigning. As per appointment letter my notice period was of 15 days. can they hold the salary of whole month.
