I was working with an organization in Mumbai, India from 20- March 2017, due to a lot of internal politics & unstructured and unorganized style of work I decided to move on. My letter of employment stated a 3 months notice but after discussing with my reporting manager I got an early reliever in a month. In that period I completed my handover process. And have even got my experience/ relieving letter.
Now after a month of joining elsewhere they have sent me a notice (on company letter head) stating I need to pay them a compensation of 2 months salary as I didn't serve 3 months.
I believe it is wrongful of them to send me such notice and harassing me. They tried piling new projects on me on my notice period, they made me slog at work. The organization lacked so much of culture that I quit without waiting for a month and claiming my annual bonus despite my performance.
Need urgent advise whether I am in a position to file a case against the employer. Kindly help me with the procedures.
Thanking you in advance

""We would like to inform you that clause 1.7,1 of the Employment Agreement dated 20th
March 20!7, explicitly states that you shall intimate the Company about your resignation by
giving 3 months' notice or else you shall be liable to pay 3 months' salary in lieu of the notice.""
There is grey area in what you are claiming in your post and what the company has written in agreement as shown above.
Facts in your favour-good experience letter.
Legally the old company has got rights to demand 2 months notice pay from you.
Did your reporting manager waive 2 months Notice Period, while accepting resignation?
What did you write in your resignation letter?
Did you commit that you have picked up another job?
You will need to consult a local labour advocate and seek advice as company is within its rights to demand notice period pay from you.
So proceed carefully and tactfully in the matter with due legal advice.

Dear Afrin,
Though in principle the company is right as stated by senior friend Nathrao, the company representative has given you the experience letter stating the date of relieving.
Have all authenticity in your proofs while approaching a local advocate like a waiver of notice period and further communication if any on the waiver of notice period/pay.

Where is the resignation acceptance letter. If the acceptance letter states that you are relieved on that date mentioned in your experience letter, then nothing to worry.

Dear Mr Nath Rao,
Your apprehension in the matter is justified on the face of documents placed. I just like to have an academic discussion on certain points that struck to mind.
Don't you think that the emloyee was binding to signed ' Employment Agreement' till 20.12.2017,before releiving from the service on closing hour of 20.12.2017. The demand notice provided by the concerned was without a date. Whether demand notice has issued before or after 20.12.2017(the date of reliving) is matter a lot. On release/releive of employee ends the employer and employee relation.

Both sides have to follow the agreement fully.Because some one is taking short cut or violating agreement dispute arises or due to differing interpretations,disputes can arise.
Here there is grey area as always in all disputes.
But full facts are not known to us.
Advice is therefore given with facts brought to our notice and it is always good to seek a local lawyer's advice before acting.
