At the time of joining, my notice period is 1 month. After a year, the employer sent an email regarding an amendment to the notice period, making it 2 months. When I refused to accept the new notice period, the employer withheld my salary. Can an employer have the right to hold salary, and what legal actions can I take against the employer?

1) There is no way that the company can force you to serve the full notice period.
