Hello Ms. Dixit,
While all the members have given you the right direction to go in resolving your problem, I would like to highlight just one particular aspect of the issue - the lawyer you approached and his advice to be rude.
This would be a lesson to be learned for you in the long run, I guess.
Kulkarni is right for multiple reasons.
From the ethical angle, like Kulkarni mentioned, just because the other person is rude doesn't require us to be likewise.
From the practical angle, had you gone ahead with the lawyer's advice, you would surely have created a mess and given a ruse [bahaana] to your ex-boss to avoid paying up. For all you know, even your approaching the Shops Inspector or court later could have boomeranged on you - since your rude letter can be used against you by your ex-boss. The lesson here is: the moment someone suggests an offensive action as the very first step, just run away from such a person and never allow him/her to get into your life.
From the angle of problem resolution [in general], quite often the very 'fear' of someone seriously contemplating tough action (your informing your ex-boss that you will go legal) is sufficient to prod that person into doing what he/she was supposed to do in the first place. You don't have to really put your plan into action. That's human nature.
All the best.

Dear Sir,
I worked at a company for only one month and left due to some personal problems. It has been four months since I left, but they have not released my salary for August 2018. Despite several reminders, they have not paid me.
Please advise me on how to collect my pending salary from them. Should I write to the Assistant Labour Commissioner? If so, could you provide guidance on drafting the letter to the ALC and the content to include?
Thank you,
