Employment _ returning of company property after resignation Employment _ returning of company property after resignation

1 month ago

Dear Sir/Maam,
I left my company. My company (Jio-Mumbai) delivered a laptop to its branch office (Gorakhpur) near to my home, as i was working from home. After leaving the company, company is asking me to deliver it to different city (Lucknow) and refusing to pay for travel or for reverse courier pickup. Do I have to do what company is saying or can i say no and ask for courier pickup? What would be my legal right?
Note that i didn't sign any paper where it says that i have to return this laptop to a different city. Company is simply saying that it's their policy.

A.Dear Client,
On the cessation of the relationship between employer and employee, the return of the company's asset which was given to an employee while in employment and it is an obligation on the part of the employee to return the asset to its original owner from his end on receipt of delivery confirmation from the company. When the company asks you to return the laptop, you need to abide by their instruction because you cannot keep the other's property unauthorisedly as a matter of right that may liable you to face legal consequences.
