---“For a few months here and there, the company had online-transfered some money to my account with comment "partial-salary".

It should help you to lay claim to balance salary.

That was so kind of you Mr.Kumar. Thank you for taking your valuable time. Have provided crisp answers to your questions.

Company- IT Software & Services, HR services.

Persons Employed - Not more than 10 at any point in time.

Reg off, Corp off & Reporting off - Karnataka

Designation - No designation officially given by company. I was primarily involved in Sales & Customer Management in Karnataka Region.

Customer Agreements - Subscriber agreements which I signed as authorised signatory.

Policies - No Clue. Have never discussed.

Documents - No Appointment letters / Bonds /Salary slips/Form 16 given. Found Form 26AS online for 1 year.

Salary - Not discussed anytime. I was taking home net 60k/month before joining this company. The partial salary credited was 30k for 7-8 months overall.

I resigned writing an email which was not acknowledged in written (May be intentional). They verbally accepted and threw a small party. But there are handing over documents given through email to other colleagues.

Not a member of any trade unions.

Hope the info is explanatory in nature. This was basically a good relationship of 6-7 years which quickly soured due to non-responsiveness of Directors to my repeated calls for settlement of moeny lent (More than a lakh)

Please let me know whether there are any legal grounds for me to proceed asking for pending salary and money lent. Else I dont want to waste time and resources. Thanking you in advance.

You may carefully go thru; Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act and its sections e.g.; 6A..............appointment letter should have been given.

You may show Form 26AS online for 1 year, also to your able Labor Law Consultant/Service Matters Lawyer/Law Firm dealing in Labor law matters and understand the merits and remedies.

You should become a member of various IT/ITeS employee's that have done a good job/Trade Unions e.g. CITU/INTUC/AITUC/BMS etc..................

Your consel(s) may opine that you are covered by the def. of 'Employee' as in the Act and can approach:

Inspector appointed under the Act,and Payment of Wages Act

Higher Officials of Dept. of Labor

O/O Labor Commissioner

File complaint u/s 406,420

File winding up petition etc.................

If you sustain you can succeed to extract your dues and documents etc............

.

Thank you Mr.Kumar.

I will have to sit down and decide the course of action.

Your response is highly valuable and very much appreciated.

May you continue the great work on this forum.

You are welcome.

Don't get carried away by such unscruplous employers again.

Wish you the best.
