Is the deposit money received for employment refundable ?

 

 I was an employee in a self financing organization. At the time of my employment the management received a certain sum of money from me as deposit amount and orally agreed to refund the same at the time of retirement/resignation. They have already issued me a receipt for the same amount as “building fund”. They have been showing this ‘building fund’ amount in the liability side of their balance sheet. Now I resigned from there. But when I ask them to refund my deposit amount, the management is unwilling to do so and says that there is no written agreement regarding the refund.

 

I would like to know is there any way for refunding my deposit money back. I have deposit the same amount there only in their written statement in my appointment letter that I will be paid as per salary given for a Govt. employee (but I have not been paid as per Govt. rules).

 

Kindly advice in this matter.

I was worked in the post of  "Assistant Administrative Officer" in an educational institution which is formed under the control of a charitable trust and I received salary in the scale of pay (but my salary amount is very less as compared with  salary given for a Govt. employee) .

 From the limited information given it appears that it is an institution is a charitable society registered under the Trusts Act. You may raise the issue with the department of technical education or the competent authority in whose control the institution is functioning.

>>orally agreed to refund the same

This might be a bone of contention, since there is no documentary evidence right? You would need to consult a lawyer to see if you have other avenues to explore in getting back your hard-earned money.
