"I resigned from my company giving 3 months notice period(as per appointment letter). My appointment letter contained the clause "after confirmation of your appointment, the company may terminate your services by giving you 3 months notice in writing, or payment of 3 month's salary in lieu of such notice. In the event you desire to leave the services of the company, you will be required to give the company 3 month's notice in writing or your total remuneration for 3 months". My company decided to release within 15 days of my resignation, though I mentioned my last day of work in my resignation. Is the company now, liable to pay for the payment in lieu of my balance period?"

Yes. Company is liable to pay for 2.5 month.

Depends solely upon what actually is provided about salary for the difference of period between the notice period and the date of relief, as in the terms of appointment. So, please check the terms of appointment carefully.

If the employee has resigned at his own sweet will then the employer can accept the resignation in between the notice period on any day and in that event he is not liable to pay but if employer has given notice and has relieved within 15 days then employer has to pay, this is is general rule but you shall have to see in your case as per terms of the appointment.
