Foreclosure on lc limits

Dear sir
I have been banking with scb since 2010 and had lc limits with them
My renewal was due on 17th june 2016 and i refused to agree with there terms on prepayment charges

My rm kept on saying that he has put request for removing that clause and on feb 24 2017 he came to our office and said we can not extend documentation any further.
So in his good faith i cutted that clause with pen and signed there and submiited the document.

On 26th feb the bank dropped my limit without any info and told us if we dont sign the doc properlly they wont start our limits

Meanwhile on 15th march 2017 we got our limits from another nationalised bank and we started with our operations there

Now od utilization was nill since 1st march 2017 and lc payments finished on 20th june 2017

Now bank has started asking for 2% foreclosure charges agst our security documents.

Are we liable to pay the same ??

Non payment of dues

I took cloud server in Nov'2016 from one of very known company of India. Till May'2017, I was not using the server. I started using the services in May last week. I got 20GB free bandwidth usage per month in basic plan.

Suddenly company officials sent me a mail on 31st May'2017 that I have used 1750GB bandwidth during 26-29th May and now need to pay the bill of INR 50000 (Incl. ST). However they have sent no intimation of 20GB free bandwidth consumption. On asking about the intimation mails or messages, the company officials were not answerable for 45 days. and on 14th July'17 they showed 3 mails (looking fake mails) showing that they have intimated me However I didn't rcvd those mails and told me to pay outstanding by very next day. Then I asked for the Server logs proving that they have sent a mail to me and it was delivered. Company again refused for any such logs and after one week, they sent a mail from their legal authorities to pay the bill. Pls suggest What should I do in this case as they are forcing me to pay the amount without proving themselves right...

How party be changed in same contract

Sir,

Thanks !!!

My company "C" placed purchase order to vendor "V" for a rate contract for two years for supply to a location "L" of the company. The vendor "V" has executed part of the order.

In the meantime my company "C" has formed a joined venture company "J" and the particular location "L" is now part of the new joint venture company "J".

Now, the unexecuted part of the contract is required to be shifted to the new Joint venture company.

Kindly request expert to please advise on the steps to be taken.

Thanking you.

Companies not giving variable pay

Dear Experts,
companies at senior level give 15-20% variable pay(80% fix+20% variable). Variable pay, which they use to pay to any one who completes financial year with company. Suppose one resigns and gets relieves after 31st March will get variable pay. Company use to send cheque to home, once it is declared.
From some years my company has changed the policy, variable pay will be only given if you are on roll on the date of disbursement. Normally they disburse it in July- august to reduced cost , as much you delay , leaving people will not get.
Since it is pay of previous financial year, this rule was made by some smart finance guy to save cost.
Is it legal for any company not to give variable pay of previous year despite employee has completed full financial year with the company. What labor law says on that.
thanks in advance

Employee mental harassment

I work with a agency. I got 20%hike in nov and was cited as a good resource by my boss Mr A in the appraisal meeting (it was a normal chitchat I realised when he cited me a good resource, parametrised form which took me hours to fill in was not even opened). I came to hear bad mouthing about my work image by my reporting boss Mr B (B reports to A)
I wanted to discuss the same with Mr A so that he can resolve the matter but Mr A was not giving me time as he always showed that he is busy.
In Feb Mr A called me, senior HR was sitting there I thought they wanted to solve my queries. HR said Hi you have to resign from your work and you can stop coming from tomorrow. When I asked for the reason they said client do not want you to work on the account( I have never met that client also there was no direct interaction) in appraisal I told Mr A that MR B do not let me meet client also he stops me going in client meetings. It's been a year that I have went for a meeting also there is no formal interaction. HR told me do not discuss the issue with anyone and resign quietly as your image can be spolied. I shared this with CEO and he assured me that necessary actions will be taken.
I still went for work for 2 months and no work was assigned to me. I kept writing to them this situation can lead me to depression but nobody came forward to help me and finally they offered to work in another unit which I denied and asked for the reply of my email.
They started forcing me to join or they will take actions against me. I stopped going to work and challenged them to share the reply on the queries I raised.
I also maile dto global team and the final result was client do not wanted me to work on the account. When I asked for proof they said they cannot provide client emails.
In May I had to visit psychiatrist and he declared that because of office trouble I have major depressive disorder.
Now they have closed the investigation and are forcing me join the other unit or they will assume that I have resigned.
This will be the fourth year when my promotion is due and they say that you have to work for another year with the new team for apprisal. I feel cheated as I have spent 7 years with the organisation.
Please suggest.
