Full and final dues not received

Sir,

You may need to send them a legal notice. Further if they dont pay your salary you may also approach labour courts depending upon your salary. You also may file a petition for the winding up of the company. Another option available with you is to approach a civil court. But first you need to show your documents to a counsel.

Inspector appointed under Payment of Wages Act ,If you are covered by the def. of wages as in the Act.

O/o Labor Commissioner; If you are covered by the labor law enactments e.g; if you are covered by the def. of 'Workman' as in the ID Act

The best option  for you wouldbe to file  a case in labor court to get all the dues in labor court from your former employer. It i srelatively faster compared to ordinary civil courts. You can also file Winding Up petition..

Thanks all for your valuable advice. I will certainly explore these options . There are two more points on which I need your guidance. 

1. Although my employer has not paid me my full and final dues, they have already deducted my TDS and deposited it with Income Tax Department . I have also been provided my Form 16 by the employer. In the said form the employer is showing that my complete dues/ salaries have been paid to me under the column "Amount paid/credited".I approached the local ITO (TDS) to know whether my employer can do this on which they said that since the department has received the TDS from the employer , their part is over . Now it is an internal matter between me and my employer. I just wanted to know whether any legal action can be taken against the employer since they are giving a false statement that the amount has been credited to me.

Moreover I have still not filed my IT returns for assessment year 2016-17 since I have not received the amount due to me.Kindly advice should I file my return or wait till the amount is paid to me.

2.The second thing I want to know is regarding my gratuity. The Gratuity act says that employer is required to pay me my gratuity within one month of my resigning from the company. The point I am not clear though is whether I am required to first intimate my employer about my pending gratuity or is it their responsibility to pay it to me before the expiry of one month? 

Thanks and Regards

Non Payment of Wages/ITR; Let your able counsel opine on it.

You may submit a gentle letter under proper acknowledgment, mentioning that 'Notice of Determination of Gratuity' and Payment has not been supplied to you. If you have represented, in the interim, mention details e.g. dates/names etc .  Add that FormI is attached.
 

From the posts it is guessed that there is a dispute.

Prefr to proceed further under expert guidance of your counsel.

Sir, there is no dispute at all. Infact I am not the only one who has not received my dues. There are many ex employees of the company , some who have been relieved for much longer periods, who are still to get their dues. Even the present employees are not being paid regular salaries. There is a pendency of around five salaries at present in this company. Like all real real estate firm its in huge financial mess and its facing many litigation cases.But I want to exercise all options available to me before it is too late.

If mandatory insurance was also notified by state govt. and opted by employer then LIC can settle the claim of Gratuity.

Your able counsel can opine on all points.
