Excess salary credited

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 04 October 2024 This query is : Resolved 
I was working for a company where in I had a bond what if I leave within 3years I have to pay 1.5lakhs. However I left after 2years and paid 1.5 lakhs, but I was not given a salary increment and they had changed the increment cycle to July without prior notice. I left in August, so basically from April I have not been given raise, but still I had to pay 1.5lakhs bond. But I had adjusted the August month salary with 1.5lakhs, by paying 1.2 lakhs. Suddenly on August last day I received August month salary. But now after 15 days they are asking me to pay back the amount. So legat what should I do considering bond , no increment in salary and all. Thanks

Without knowing the contents of the notice issued to you as well as other background details any opinion given here may be a misguiding one hence you may better consult a local lawyer and get his advise on all such further issues in person.

As per the stated facts, you paid excess salary in my view. So they issued notice. It is better to consult a local lawyer and revert your reply through the lawyer.

Admittedly, the payment of salary for the month of August has been a mistake. You are liable to return the unearned income.

The issue of increment cycle is unconnected with excess salary you have received.
