Dear Friends,
I am going through a serious trouble. First, it was my resignation acceptance, which I forced him to accept. Now, my boss has come up with a new tactic.
On August 14, 2013, I received a good increment, but on December 24, 2013, I resigned as I got a good new opportunity. But now my boss says that I can't leave as I will face many financial losses, and to recover that, I have to pay back the incremented amount, or else he will stop the relieving process. Also, there is no kind of bond or anything that can stop me from leaving, and there is nothing written on the increment letter. He is only doing this to take revenge on me and show other employees what problems can occur if they try to leave.
But I feel that this is against the law and complete torture. Please help me out with any legal advice or a good solution. What kind of steps should I take to make everything happen smoothly?
Please help as my last working day would be February 6, 2014, and I don't want to face any issues on my last day.
Waiting for a good and helpful response.

Dear Pratik,
First thing is that an increment is based on your past performance, not on the future. They have given you the good increment, assuming that you had done a good job, which you deserved, and you got that.
Now, if they are asking for the same increment back, then check your increment letter or any communication, whether there is anything mentioned that you have to bear any of the costs if you do not continue or leave in between. I am sure it must not be there. They can't do anything.

Yes, you are right; there is nothing written about a refund or any amount to be paid if I leave early. I have said the same to him, but how to tackle this situation and what should I tell him in legal terms so that I get out clean. He now tells me that you will get a cut short paid amount for the 45 days' notice period, which itself is wrong. So, tell me a solution that exactly what should I tell him, so that his plan fails.
