I was working for a financial services company and resigned from the company in july and completed all my exit formalities and got my relieving letter in september.
I will also like to mention that there was a client issue ( the client had written a complaint letter regarding the same) where I had to give my clarifications on the matter since I was a relationship manager. I duely gave all the clarifications and necessary documentations and mails which were exchanged between me and the client. Also there was no dues from me to the company. Post that the HR completed my exit interview and provided me with the relieving letter.
Apart from this single issue my 7 and half years career record has been very clean and I have been a good performer.
Since than I have been writing to the company to settle my pf, gratuity , leave encashment., last months salary and other dues . But still I have not received settlement. ( the company is now telling me to get a complaint resolved letter from the client) . I have repeatedly written to them that I was duely relieved after completing all the formalities
Will you guide me on the below,
1) If i have valid and proper relieving letter is the company not liable to settle my dues at the earliest.
2) And how long the employer can delay my settlement.
Request your valuable advice.
Thanks and Regards,

Dear Looks that you need to approach the issue legally.Pls consult a lawyer and have a Legal Notice issued. rajanassociates

Dear Rayes,
The employer has already relieved you of your duties. In no legal way, can an employer refuse to pay your PF or Gratuity benefits ( since these cannot be attached by law). Hence, you can always take the legal route to get it resolved - which of course will mean you spend time chasing legal advisors and so on.
However a more matured approach would be to meet the senior HR representative of the company personally and asking him to close the issue once and for all.
P.S : The employer is legally liable to provide you the PF A/C no. and also enable the release of this money upon your demand. This benefit belongs to you and not the employer.
