Settlement cheque not yet credited

Dear Sir

My Previous Organization had issued PDC of Settlement amount of 105047/- Dated 24th Dece'24.  There was email from HR department on 4th October 2024 that cheque will be deposited in employee account on the due date and cheque copy was issued.  Till Date the cheque is not yet deposited and no response is being received from the employer over emails/phone/whats app.

Cheque is becoming stale in 24th march 2025 (90 Days validity)

What should be done to recover the same.

Also there is lot mental stress because of this.

Kindly guide

Ramakrishna

You have not yet been issued cheque, accordingly it has no validity (90 days)

You should ask for original cheque for the amount, if dues is not yet deposited in your account.

Dear Sir

Yes I agree that cheque has not reached me but when i contacted my organization they had given email that cheque will be credited on the date mentioned which is still not done.  I have got the cheque copy issued in my mail for records... They comittted in january they are clearing the payment but nothing done so far.. 

They are not responding.  Cheque is valid for 90 Days sir Attached is the Cheque copy which they issued.

No response on emails however on whats app they have replied that they will clear but nothing has happened.

Kindly guide further

The validity of cheque b three months from its date.

But you are entitled for the cheque from the date of cheque itself.

You issue a legal notice through a lawyer demanding the payment of settlement amount within seven days failing which you can file a money recovery suit.

why don' you reminde them through written notice that the due amount is still not deposited , or issue alegal notice to initiate a complaint in labour court

Respected sir

Already sent message through emails and what's app... They are not responding and have blocked the numbers now.  This their peripheral way of doing things.  

I think legal action will only support. An advise in this process is kindly soilicited.

Just take printouts of email and cheque and all other settlement documents, handover and all that and issue a legal notice of short duration for payment. If they failed to pay you can claim the amount through court by way of labor complaint or court case (court fee applicable) or writ petition. Since they have already admitted the settlement amount they are bound to pay.
