Full and Final Amount not settled
15-Feb-2026 (In Labour & Service Law)
There was a company, Merapashu360 Pvt. Ltd.
I was employed their for 2 and half year, I left the company on 21 june 2024, but my FnF is still not cleared. Also company was in financial cruntch so they didn't pay the full salary when I was employed there for many months, so FnF amount is huge. After my exit from the company, they pay me some amount after sometime (Monthly Payment of FnF) they stopping paying and now my 7 Lakh is there for payment. I want to get this money.
Thanks for your help.
You should have an advocate serve a formal legal notice to the company and its directors, demanding the payment of the balance amount with interest within a specific timeframe (typically 15 days). Often, the threat of litigation is enough to prioritize your payment.
You can file a formal complaint with the Assistant Labour Commissioner in the jurisdiction where the company’s office is located. The labour department has the authority to summon the management and mediate the recovery of unpaid wages and statutory dues.
Since the debt is liquidated (a specific amount) and has been partially admitted through previous payments, you can file a Summary Suit in a civil court. This is a faster judicial process than a regular suit, as it limits the company's ability to delay the proceedings with frivolous defenses.
In my opinion, the company is legally bound to clear your entire Full & Final settlement, and financial hardship is not a valid ground to withhold earned salary. Under the Payment of Wages Act and applicable Shops & Establishments Act, all earned wages and dues must be paid within a reasonable time after exit. Since approximately ₹7 lakhs remains unpaid, I would advise you to immediately issue a formal legal notice demanding payment within 15 days. If the company still fails to comply, you may approach the Labour Commissioner or the competent authority for recovery of wages, and if you fall within the definition of “workman” under the Industrial Disputes Act, you can initiate recovery proceedings thereunder. Alternatively, a civil recovery suit with interest can also be filed. Please preserve all employment records and initiate action within the limitation period of three years
You can file a formal complaint before the labour inspector and get the notice issued to the company in this regard if they still adamant to their behavior then you can file the case before the labour commissioner in payment of wages act. First of clarify your position how much salary you get what was your position in the company so that i can guide accordingly about where to file complaint.
