Dear Client, as per your query, Since the employer has breached their promise, you should immediately send a formal legal notice through a lawyer through which you will be demanding the arrears of four months’ salary along with interest. The employer’s refusal to pay earned wages is a criminal offense under the Payment of Wages Act. If there is no response to the notice, you should file an online complaint on the SAMADHAN portal or approach the Assistant Labour Commissioner in the district to start a conciliation process. Since they have already confessed to the debt by promising a settlement, you have a strong legal case to recover the arrears through a recovery certificate or a summary suit. I hope this answer is helpful. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. 
Thank You.

Dear Client, 

Wages and Salaries are legally protected. Employers are required to pay wages timely under the Code of Wages, 2019. If the employer has unilaterally removed your name from rolls but has not paid due wages, you have claim for recovery of wages. If your institution is covered by industrial or labour laws, the relevant labour law shall provide a dispute resolution and award recovery mechanism. If the employer made deliberate promises to settle and dishonestly withheld payment, in some cases, criminal remedies of cheating under Section 318 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 or other offences, depending on facts, may also be available, but this criminal action shall depend on proof of dishonest intent.

You can send a lawyer’s legal demand notice asking for immediate settlement, production of the final settlement statement, and a warning of legal action. You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner or with the Conciliation Officer regarding the wage dispute. If the matter is not resolved through either of the above, you can also file a civil suit for recovery of unpaid salary and damages through a money suit before a court. If you have any further queries, please feel free to reach out.
