Employer isn't paying salary and hasn't even given joining letter

I was an Intern for a small Broking firm in Mumbai. I worked at the internship for 2 months without any promise of tenure. Everything was verbal. Due to trust in the employer I asked for the joining letter for a few weeks but then after continue rejection I stopped asking. The employer paid me after 2 months but only for 1 month. I have a few messages regarding my employment there but no other proof. Please help me

The internship is not an employment 

During an internship you may be eligible for a stipend based on the company's policy, hence you cannot claim salary as a right.

Therefore no legal action is maintainble in this regard

Thank you for replying. But the employer had promised a stipend beforehand and had also promised to give joining letter and experience letter and hasnt done the same.

The oral promise for stipend is not enforcable in law. 

No case is made out.
