Sirji I took VRS and in sanction I was a loser by what was described as statutory company rules allowed me retirement based on minimum 90 days letter of notice. It said I had requested for relief on 31st December and Notice period was short to disallow the short notice of less than a month. Sirji I'm not allowed even arguably any scope of lost settlement in settlement order and hence I have a desire to know your reputed comments for advice WhatsApp number SUBRAMANIAM.K

Ans: Hi Mr. Krishnamurti
I have not understood your query as it does not bring out the facts clearly. Regardless, i would state in broad terms how the VRS tax exemption works.

Section 10(10C) of the Income Tax Act and Rule 2BA of the Income Tax Rules define the exemption of amount received on VRS and the conditions to be met. If you meet the criteria as laid down therein then you would be eligible to consider the exemption.

I did not understand your point on min 90 day notice period. Is that applicable to all employees opting for VRS or limited to you? I state this because VRS rules have to be common for all and there cannot be variations to the policy and different implementation to different classes of employees.

I guess you may need to take the full set of documents either to your CA or a lawyer to evaluate if there is any legal flaw in the manner of implementation of the VRS scheme.

Hello Sir/Madam, This has been a practice of my company to delay the Full & Final settlement for employees who resign from the company. The final settlement along with the experience letters will be received after almost 2 months of leaving the organisation. This is the case with normal employees who serve three months notice period. These 2 months are very chaotic as the new company keeps requesting for the experience letters. There is no specific reason cited by the organisation for the delay in making the settlement. Sometimes the reasons seem petty. As a manager, I know this is wrong but I was helpless. 3 months back, our organisation had laid off many employees including me. They informed us that we will be getting three months salary as severance pay. The first two months were credited on time i.e 1st of each month. However, the third month payment has been stopped. They informed us it will be settled with the F&F settlement. There were no timelines mentioned to us. There is no letter issued to us - Neither laptop acceptance or resignation acceptance. I am getting job offers but they expect a firm date for joining along with the experience letters. I am not in position to furnish them these details. What can I do in this case? The company that I worked for is a BSE listed firm with strong financials.
Ans: Dear

I can understand your situation. What ai would suggest is better open and transparent with your potential employer, show them your resignation letter and the salary credited. I am sure they will appreciate.

All the best.

Hi sir I could not serve my 3 months notice period however I had served 2 months and asked HR to give me early reliving. I mentioned that my parents are not well and attached medical prescription but they denied and said you to serve complete 3 months. After 2 months I stopped going to office they were sending me absconding mails meanwhile and after 1month they sent me termination letter what shall I do In such case ? I was working there for 2 years.
Ans: I’m sorry to hear about your situation. When facing termination due to not serving the full notice period, it’s important to understand your rights and the potential legal implications. Here’s what you can consider doing:

Review Your Employment Contract: Check the terms regarding the notice period and termination. There might be provisions for situations like medical emergencies.
Legal Consultation: It may be beneficial to consult with a labor law attorney who can provide advice based on the specifics of your case and the applicable laws.
Documentation: Gather all relevant documentation, including the medical prescriptions you submitted, any communication from HR, and the termination letter.
Negotiation: You could attempt to negotiate with your employer, explaining the situation with your parents and seeking a compassionate resolution.
Labor Office: If negotiation fails, you may approach the local labor office or labor court for guidance and to explore options for redressal.
Understand Legal Precedents: Familiarize yourself with any legal precedents that may apply to your case. For instance, the Supreme Court has provided judgments on employment notice periods that might offer insights into your rights and obligations.
Remember, each situation is unique, and the best course of action depends on the specifics of your employment contract and the company’s policies. It’s crucial to handle the matter professionally and legally to ensure the best possible outcome. Good luck!
