Dear Experts,
I was working with M/s. Galaxy Sivtek P. Ltd. – Vadodara, Gujarat as a National Sales Manager & resign on 2nd August 2017 due to personnel reason. I was ready to serve notice period as per company policy but company has decide to relieve me on the same day. During the full & final settlement given letter mentioned all the dues including Festive pay of last year 2016-17. I was told by the management that it will pay me in Diwali time. When I inquired in Diwali time, I was told in written email that during my leaving time there are many other employee also left & company is going for legal action on it & could not pay you the money. Many time I asked for the proper reason but they refused.
As per friend's request, I visited Labour office to file a complaint but got the information that as my basic salary is more than Rs. 10,000/- I am not eligible for Bonus Pay (Festive Pay) even after mentioned in the full & final settlement letter. I could not understand the proper reason but they refuse to explain it.
Dear Experts, can you please guide me in this case please!

The employer is bound to honour their promise unless there are compelling circumstances. You may serve a legal notice.
