I am working in IIFL Gold Loans in A.P. for the last 9 years and have achieved many excellence certificates and rewards for my hard work. All of a sudden, my above senior officials like AM, TM, BM have changed, and I am facing a lot of difficulty in working now. Small queries and audit issues used to be there previously too, but as long as I am giving business to the company, they were behind me, supporting me in every audit issue. I used to solve those issues promptly, not taking anything for granted. However, all of a sudden, an auditor came to the bank. Despite explaining all the queries clearly and promising to clear them as soon as possible, he complained about me to higher officials. Based on his inputs, the company sent showcause notices to me in January and asked me to explain. Through email, I explained my side, and the company also cooled off by sending a warning email to me, advising me not to repeat such things again.
Now, as the market is versatile, and I am just falling a step behind in giving business to the company, the same auditor raised other complaints about me to the company. They issued showcause notices to me and asked for my side within 7 days. Before I could present my part, I received an email asking me to come to the main branch in Hyderabad for a DC meeting/explanation. After replying to the showcause notice, I went to Hyderabad to attend the DC meeting. I thought the meeting would be fair and free, where I would be given a chance to explain my side and ready to render my apologies for the inconvenience caused. However, without listening to a single word from me, they asked us to leave the meeting and told us to check the emails for the meeting's result.
The next day, on April 9th, around 5:45 pm, I received an email from HR citing the showcause notices from January and April, terminating me for violating company policies. At 6:15 pm, I received another email from HR stating that my resignation was pulled back and asked me to rejoin the office. Before understanding what was happening, another email at 6:45 pm stated that my resignation was approved with immediate effect, and I could leave the office as soon as possible. My FnF, PF, and gratuity will be settled by contacting local HRs.
In a confused atmosphere, I felt happy that I was getting free from this work pressure and unfaithful company, so I left the office the same day after informing and handing over all the key points to my senior authority. The next morning, I called the local HRs to know the status of my FnF, PF, and gratuity amounts but was shocked to hear that I was terminated from the company, and no relieving letter, gratuity, or PF amount would be entertained for me. I felt shattered and cheated by the company for which I had worked sincerely for more than 9 years. Does the company have the right to terminate an employee who has already submitted her resignation, which is pending approval? Can I approach the Labor/Consumer court?

Dear Friend,
As per your communication, there has been no fair and transparent inquiry conducted by the company. Therefore, you have every right to approach the labor court. Here are some points in your favor:
1. After sending the termination email, why did your HR ask you to rejoin?
2. On what grounds were you terminated? Ask HR to explain the situation via email.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance or clarification.
Thank you.

PF cannot be denied to you. Gratuity is also protected. Please consult a good lawyer about your termination drama. Preserve all these emails and take the matter legally by sending them a notice. Apparently, from what you said, the termination was not as per laid down norms - fair enquiry, chance to be heard, and put up a defense, etc. Whatever the matter may be, denial of PF is against rules, and so is the case with gratuity.

Dear Friend,
Greetings!
There is one ambiguity regarding whether you tendered your resignation before or after termination by the company. Do you have a copy of the resignation acceptance and all email printouts related to your termination and resignation correspondence with the company?
If yes, just do one thing - don't lodge a case. Instead, file a simple complaint with the nearest Labor Officer/Commissioner and PF Officer/Commissioner.
Thanks & Regards
