Delay in salary payment

I worked in a small BPO organization for almost 2 years. During the last 6 months, Director did not pay me, stating he was hard on cash. I left the organization, with 6 month dues still pending. I asked him for my dues, but he expressed his inability. 

Finally, after 1 - 1/2 years, now, he said he was in a position now, and will pay.

Now, according to labor laws, is the director liable to pay me the 6 months salary,
or
6 months salary + interest accrued for the period of delay (1-1/2 yrs)?

So, what amount should I ask him now?

Please suggest.

You first send a legal demand notice demanding the dues to you along with interest till the date of settlement.

If there's no response you may file a suit for recovery of your dues through a civil court.

Did you send demand notice and the company failed to respond/pay the dues? If so, file a claim before Labour Commossioner or suit for recovery through a local prudent lawyer

The Director may not pay the interest. I suggest you take your six months' salary, ask him for interest for the delay, and settle the issue amicably. Otherwise, it will take time if you approach the court.
