Company sent Notice for extra money they sent & pre-damaged laptop Company sent Notice for extra money they sent & pre-damaged laptop

1 year ago

I had put in my resignation in December & my last working day was in first week of January 2022.
But the company somehow sent me entire months salary by mistake.

They have sent me a notice on company letter head now to return the money which I can’t. Additionally, they had sent me damaged laptop which I had informed their HR but they are asking me to pay for the damage too since the HR has left the organisation & it was not written.

The total amount is coming out to be 1.8 lac which I cant pay & the letter head says that if i dont pay in 7 days, they will take legal action.

What do i do?
What can the company actually do?
Especially about the laptop amount?

A.Dear Client,
Since you had put in resignation, you should be sending the money received by the company as an accident. Get in touch with the previous HR aware of the situation, and get in written or ask her to contact the company on your behalf. If you do not return the money, the company can take legal action against you. If you can't prove that the laptop was in good condition then you might have to pay for it.
