My queries are as following.
A] It's regarding LTA:
---------------------------------
After completion of 1 year (that is on 29th June 2009), I got rupees 49,000.00 LTA in the salary of June 2009. (I did not claimed any LTA saying that I had traved for so and so period, so naturally as per rule tax would have deducted from the LTA amt).
Now when I left the company on 10-Feb-2010, after that in the full and final settlement amount I did not find any LTA amt. credited for me, so naturally I asked to the company that I have not received it for the period 30th-June-2010 to 10-Feb-2010 (that is for 7 months 11 days). But here my previous company is saying that we do not pay LTA for those employees who leaves earlier / we pay it every after completion of 1 year cycle.
As per the offer letter there is no rule or clause that gives weightage to the company wording.
Can you please tell me that if company is saying like that then does it make any sense?
As I know I am eligible to get it (LTA). If company does not pay then what kind of action(s) I should do to recover my LTA amount.
Can I take it to Ministry of Labor Affairs / file a case by sending legal notice?


B] It's regarding LOP (Loss of Pay):
---------------------------------------------------
In the full and final settlement document there was a column of LOP in Days (Loss of Pay) and company has deducted my 18,033.00 for 5 days.
When I asked them then they said since you were not confirmed in the company we are deducting it under company rule.
I informed them that all my leaves are as per the company rule and under the limit said by company and I have completed 1 month of notice period also.
They said it is in the employees hand book given and as per that we are deducting it. (I have no access to find any details of employee hand book).
As per the offer letter there was no such rule stating that if an employee is on probation or if it is extended then in the mid time if an employee resigns then company shall deduct amount on LOP ?
When I completed 6 months company did not told me that my probation has been extended. When I asked for confirmation letter they just did not said any thing and hence I do not have any letter for confirmation also.
I know that company took the advantage of recession by not giving confirmation to me and now after leaving the company they are deducting big amounts by giving such reasons.
I have requested so many time to them by sending email and over the phone to pay LOP amount.
Can you please tell me what is the correct. ?
What I should do to recover my LOP amount.
Can I take it to Ministry of Labor Affairs / file a case by sending legal notice?

I see a loss of around 49,000.00 (LTA + LOP amounts) without any reason and I really can't afford it.

Is there any rule stating that company has to pay LAT even if an employee do not produce any LTA bills / do not take any leaves on LTA section.

Is there any rule, if company puts an employee for probation on a very long term (in my case 20 months) and now taking advantage on probation period and deducting employee leaves saying LOP. Can an employee fight for it under some labor laws?

Many thanks for reading this.

Kindly guide me.

Your sincerely,
Chandrashekhar
