What exactly are the mandatory information to be included in an offer letter and appointment letter? If an appointment letter does not detail the modalities after an employee has resigned, can the employee question that?

This is because a few software companies refuse to pay salaries from the day of resignation until the last day of employment. This actually means that the employee has to work without salary for two full months. This also gives ample opportunities for managers to harass employees.

Is this practice illegal and can it be challenged in court?

Company’s block 1 months salary after resignation which is released along with Full & final settlement. If they are not releasing the payment then its illegal...its against the labour law...

If the notice period is two months, this company won't pay from the date of resignation to the date of final settlement. So, the employee will be working for two months without pay. Since this is an illegal practice, what are the legal remedies under the Labour Law?

Salary is kept on hold for the period of one month from the day of resignation. It's not that companies don't pay it. Hold salary is released after one month of an employee's exit along with full and final settlement. Keeping salary on hold is logically correct, and I think it's not illegal as one month's salary is kept on hold to make adjustments for any arising dues as in most cases employees refuse to pay.
