Dear Experts,
I was working with a reputed organization as Branch Manager which I had joined on November 2014 and I left the organization on December 2015. Some of the services included Foreign Exchange, Tours & Travels, Personal Loan, Gold Loan. After mutual agreement I also served 21 days of notice period and got my self relieved on 21/12/2015.
Now as per the Employee Settlement team my total F&F sums up to Rs.22,257 (which includes 21 days salary for the month of December 2015 & my 12 pending Leaves).
I got an acknowledgement from the Settlement team that I had to sign on the letter which stated my F&F Amount and had to scan the copy and send it to them for release of my F&F.
Now when I followed up with them I was informed that my F&F has not got approval of my Regional head. On speaking with the RH, I came to know that my F&F is kept on hold because branch had many pending EMI against the personal loans which were disbursed during my tenure.
I have also been informed that there are high chances of them deducting some money from my F&F as part of adjustment to the existing pending EMI's.
All I would like to know is that can I take any legal step against them if some amount is deducted from my F&F as there is no clause in my Appointment Letter & Offer letter which states that I am liable for any pending EMI's which we have been issued to customers. Also all my paper work regarding all the disbursed loans are perfect with no deviations as all paper works are monthly audited by internal and external auditors.
Kindly advise me as what can be done from my end ???
Awaiting to hear something from your end.
