Contract completed - Still notice was pay recovered Contract completed - Still notice was pay recovered

I was working with Flipkart on a Contract and I left Flipkart as my contract was ended with the approval of my reporting manager, who did not informed me about any deductions or notice period, while leaving. As per the contract, I fulfilled my duties until the specified last date, But the Payroll HR Team deducted my 1 month of salary stating that I have not served notice period.

When tried reaching my manager, he says he already departed from flipkart and cant be able to follow up on this. I also had a conversation with my payroll team and HRBP but they say we have proceeded as per the company policy and nothing can be done about this.

Please let me know how can I go ahead with this.

A.Dear Client,

Resigning per the offer letter terms concludes the employee-employer relationship after the notice period. Refer to the employment contract for governing conditions; breaching terms may lead to legal repercussions. If the contract specifies a notice period, resigning without serving it may result in the company claiming one month's salary. Address breaches through mutual resolution or negotiation. While approaching the Labor Commissioner for settlement is an option, acceptance depends on the authority's discretion. In essence, adherence to employment terms is crucial, and consequences for breaches can be legally enforced or settled amicably.

A.Dear Client,
If you tendered your resignation following the terms of the offer/appointment letter then on the expiry of the notice period, the relationship between employee and employer gets severed/seized. In the prevailing situation, you need to go through your offer letter that governs the relationship between an employee and employer. Breach of any condition of the offer letter or contract of employment by either party becomes liable to face legal consequences. If the terms of employment contain a clause of service of notice period or payment in lieu of notice period, in that case, if an employee tenders his resignation without serving a notice period as required, the company can claim one month's salary in lieu of notice period from the outgoing employee. So, for a breach of terms of employment, you have to face the consequences if it is not otherwise negotiated or resolved mutually between the parties. You may approach the concerned Labour commissioner praying for an amicable settlement, but it exclusively depends upon the discretion of the concerned authority to entertain or to consider your appeal.
