I think that the act of the management in deducting basic salary for 75 days of bought-out notice period as per clause 8(g) of the conditions for resignation. Even in that the management accepted your resignation with an effective notice period of 15 days against the stipulated 30 days. Termination of employment requiring notice includes resignation also. You should not fail to remember that your bought out notice period is 75 days. IF you read clauses 8(f) and (g) conjunctively, you would be convinced that the management was lenient towards you too by accepting your resignation with just 15 days' notice instead of the mandatory 30 days. No use in citing the similar case of others for every such case would have different considerations from the management's perspective and discretion which can not be questioned.

Thank you, Mr. Umakant, for your reply. It would be great if you could help me further.
1. Can I raise my voice to a labor official regarding management disparity?
2. Many people have left their jobs soon after receiving their salary by giving only a day or two notice, and no recovery is being pursued.
3. I have a full and final settlement letter of 4 employees where 30 days of calculations were made. Will it carry any weight if I bring this up with a labor official?

Hi,
My advice: don't react. Let your employer handle the situation. You don't have to worry. If your employer takes legal action and, hypothetically, you are found guilty, the fine would be minimal, likely under ₹10,000, and such occurrences are very rare. No one has time for this nonsense. Additionally, you do not require an experience letter from this company as they have already provided you with a settlement letter. Explain your situation to your new employer, and they should understand.
I have dealt with many similar cases, so relax, my friend.

Dear Rahul Singh,
All your present questions have already been answered in my previous reply, and I request you to go through it once again. When a rule that has already been accepted prescribes the exercise of certain options in a particular way subject to some alternatives, the party exercising the option in tune with a particular alternative cannot make any complaints on the basis of a concession granted to others in this regard. The management's action in deducting 75 days of basic salary is strictly in line with the notice period condition as per clause 8(g). How can your complaint survive the logical and legal scrutiny of this particular condition of service? If you attempt to raise the issue based on allegations of discrimination or preferential treatment, the employer can simply dismiss it as an exercise of discretion on a case-by-case basis. Furthermore, your actions could potentially transform the otherwise generous employer into a rigid enforcer of exit rules in the future due to the frustration caused by your actions, which may impact the interests of future resignees.
Thank you.
