A.Dear Client,
If your salary is pending with a government department for the past 4-5 months and they have not responded to your attempts to contact them, there are a few steps you can consider taking:

1. Documented Communication: Make sure you have documented evidence of all your attempts to contact the department, such as emails, letters, or any other form of written communication. This will be useful as evidence later on.

2. Legal Notice: You can send a legal notice to the department, highlighting the pending salary and the lack of response from their end. The legal notice may serve as a formal demand for payment and can be used as evidence in legal proceedings if required.

3. File a Complaint: If the legal notice does not yield any response or resolution, you can file a complaint with the appropriate labor or employment authorities. Inquire about the specific authority in your jurisdiction that deals with non-payment of salaries and follow their procedures for filing a complaint.

4. Seek Legal Advice: Consult with a lawyer specializing in labor or employment law. They can assess the specific facts and circumstances of your case, review any relevant employment contracts or agreements, and guide you on the legal remedies available to you. They can also represent you in any legal proceedings, if necessary.

It is important to note that the steps mentioned above are general suggestions and may vary depending on the specific laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
Thank you.

You can send them a legal notice to pay the pending salary and even after that if they don't pay then since they are the govt. organization hence you can file a writ petition against them in the concerned High Court.
