615 votes

If the Company is refusing to accept the basic salary, you send them a demand draft along with a covering letter detailing the circumstances under which you are sending along with your resigning letter through registered post. You also send them an e-mail stating the circumstances along with the scan copy of letter and demand draft. Thereafter, you can resign from the company. In case, the Company files a suit against you, in that case you have a defence and document to show that you abided by the terms of the agreement you entered into with the company.

Hi, if the contract specifically provides an option of paying salary in lieu of not serving the notice period, the Company cannot force you to serve the same. However, the same will depend on the exact terms of engagement.
