I used to work with a private firm in Mumbai from where I've resigned around 3 months ago. I owe 9 salaries plus incentives totalling around 6 lakhs rupees. Non payment of salaries was the prime reason for my resignation. The owner and MD of my company verbally assured that he'll clear my dues and release atleast one salary every month. Now i've been following up since the last 3 months but haven't been paid citing reasons such as company is not performing well. have written several SMS's and mails.
How should I go about recovering my money, what legal rights does my employer has?
Any help on this is appreciated.
