I had been employed in an IT company where I had served for 1 years 4 months. On 7th Nov, I already informed my manager that I would be serving till 4th Dec and for any shortfall I will be paying the rest. . Also he told nothing is under his control and I had to talk to the delivery manager of the project but he assured me that things would be sorted. He assured me of early release but that didnt happen till 6th Dec. Also I applied this late on 27th Nov in the company's internal portal for the relieving date as 4th Dec. Let nothing happened. I stopped going to the company and joined a different company where I had already told about the situation. Now my ex-employer is telling that action would be taken against me but when I read the offer letter, it was written : If I leave the employement without giving notice, the company has the right to deduct the amount mentioned in the notice period of one or two months of gross salary as the case may be from any amount that is payable to me or call upon to make the payment in lieue of shortfall in notice period,besides taking action for breach of contract.
THey are telling they would take action against me. Tell me what should I do.
