Such sudden termination without any reason is illegal and you may challenge the same. Since you have served for 7 years, you are not only entitled to gratuity but also retrenchment compensation. You seem to have a good case.

If contribution amount was deducted from your salary and not deposited before the PF authorities, then you may also lodge a complaint before RPFC.

As per your query, you should be aware of IDA, 1947. According to the Indian Legal System, the IDA known as the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 describes corporate or industrial matters that takes place between employers and their employees or workmen. Moreover, the IDA, 1947. also illustrates various terms and conditions that circulate the employment of conditions of labour.

Therefore, an employer has a right to end an employment relationship with his/her employees or workmen, without a good reason and therefore a justification is not required for the dismissal of services.

However, he or she (i.e. the employer) is obliged to send a notice of termination, 30-90 days prior to cessation of services and clear All Dues, making the Following Requisite Payments:

1. Salary in lieu of notice when the notice has not been given

2. Salary for the days worked which remain unpaid

3. Encashment of unused paid leaves

4. Payment of gratuity to the employee who served for five years or more, as given in the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972

5. Payment of bonus for those employees who worked for at least 30 days in a financial year and earn up to Rs.10,000; as per the Payment of Bonus Act 1965

6. Any other dues contractually agreed under the company policy.

However, since your company has terminated you with clearing the PF you being an employee can file a suit in Labour Court before the Magistrate against the employer for recovery of all pending dues.

This way you're entitled to get the payment of even the notice period.

Hope It Helps and clears all your doubt.
