A.Dear Client,
On cessation of employment on the ground of resignation other than disciplinary action for proven misconduct, an employer cannot withhold the employee's F & F settlement dues which is amounted to unfair labour practices, So, in the prevailing situation, if you are a workman as defined under Sec.2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. then, serving a legal notice to your employer/company, file an application u/s.33C(2) of the Industrial Dispute Act before the concerned Labour Court claiming the entire dues receivable from the company, Or else an employee who belongs to the manager/supervisory category, then he has to pursue a civil suit before a Civil Court for redressal of his grievance.
