Friends,
An employer cannot compel employees to open a salary account in its official bank only. In this case, employees were asked to open a salary account in IDBI Bank only with zero balance. However, some employees had accounts with other banks. Due to this, the employer did not pay salaries since August 2016. The Kerala High Court, through an order dated 14.3.2017 (copy attached), instructed the employer to pay arrears immediately without insisting on opening accounts with IDBI Bank.
Thanks
