Company asking for payment after 7 months of relieving

958 votes

Hi Dear
Firstly, when the company relieved you, whether you received any e-mail or any intimation from the company after that. IF yes, please tell about its contents. Also when you had joined the company and the bond has been asked for, what is the status of your service joining letter, if it says that company can relieve you at anytime the you can do nothing. If the letter says that the company has to give you a prior notice or vice versa then probably you have better case. However in the present scenario, since 7 months have already been elapsed then it makes out no case as it is barred by law of limitation of Negotiable Instruments Act. At the same time, it is to clarify that in civil law the limitation is of three years. So make sure that the cheque signed by you and the date filled by you is within the time period of three months only, in that case no cheque bouncing case under Negotiable Instruments Act can be made out.
Have you need any other clarification please feel free to discuss.

Start immediately by sending a reply to the notice they have sent you explaining all the condition and situation they have or you have opted. If even after that they continue with litigation, contest it. All will be in your favour in this particular matter. If you wish we can hold the same for you since inception.

Hello,

If your company provided you reliving letter then they can not initiate any legal proceedings against you and after marking stop on cheque it never bounces it returns unpaid with reason stopped, even after if you need you can give a legal notice to your company through Advocate.
