You can approach Labor commissioner for relief. Company is bound to honor contrition of appointment.

What you are contemplating has a long process and headache so I will not suggest, as you have a short period of service with the company at least you should leave in a decent manner so try to negotiate with them through HR.

First try to get relieving letter clear cut then after that if they will not pay joining bonus , claim it after wards by way of filing a case for the same before the appropriate forum.

Dear Sir,

The relationship between private employee and public limited company or private company is very sensitive provided you have determined to leave the job. You cannot make issues with your current employer. It has long side effects even after you quit the job.

You should send a mail for resignation to your compamy as per the terms of resignation as mentioned in the letter of your employment. Along with that send a copy of your resignation through a registered post as well.

In case the company does not accept your resignation even after you have taken these steps, you may issue them a legal notice through a lawyer.

Yes employee can take legal action against the employer for non compliance of the contract. 

You can claim compensation for loss of opportunities  due to late relieving from the job even after Serving proper notice of 15 days.

For that you need to file suit in civil court.

1. You first tender your resignation in writing and get their reply in writing rejecting your request to relieve you for any reason they may rely upon.

You can then plan to initiate legal steps to demand your dues including relieving letter by issuing a legal notice citing their conditions and terms of employment, after that you may plan further legal action.

2.  You can take appropriate legal action

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have been harassed to no reason.
  2. You have two options, either you take them before the civil court of law for breaching the agreement where you can continue to contest even after joining somewhere else.
  3. Or you leave the company with all your relieving formalities and have everything on mails and then file a suit for compensation for breaching the agreement of employment.

You have resigned after working for just 3 months 

 

2) you have submitted NOC from client 

 

3) if company has failed to furnish you bonus and relieving letter inspite of serving the notice period issue legal notice to company to do so

If the company agreed about your resignation and confirmed about this especially to your proposal of to pay the compensation amount towards the balance of notice period, you may remain absent from attending the company from the date which the notice period expires, let them take any legal action   because as per law they cannot hold you back in the company when you agree to pay the notice period after serving the partial notice period, hence no legal action is maintainable in this regard.

1.  You can issue a legal notice demanding your relieving letter and also the other dues from the employer after which you can plan further legal steps.

2. You can consult a local advocate and send the legal demand notice for all the dues that you are entitled from the company including the F&F settlement and the joining bonus.

wait for full and final settlement being done 

 

2) even if you go to court it would take time to get reliefs from court 

 

3) it is in your interest to forget joining bonus and take relieving letter 

 

4) litigation is long drawn and expensive proposition
