Hello, Greetings!
I am an HR professional working for a PSU. I joined this company in the year 2011 as a Management Trainee, and it has been three years since I have been associated with the organization. I am due for two annual increments which have been withheld on the pretext that my antecedent report (police verification report) has not arrived. Please guide me on what should be done to secure my increment.
Thank you in advance.

Police verification does not take more than 15 days to get the certificate. Even an employee can get his/her police verification done themselves.
With regards to your increment due, did they get your appraisal done? Please clarify so as to reply appropriately.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your quick response. Yes, all performance appraisal-related formalities have been completed on time. This office is situated in West Bengal, and my hometown is in Mumbai. The employer has informed me that they have conducted police verification periodically. However, my concern is that police verification has not been a criterion as per policies for releasing increments. Therefore, there seems to be an ad hoc change in practice in my case, and the employer insists on obtaining a police verification. In our organization, it is the employer's responsibility to arrange for the police verification process.
Thanks,
Debismitha.

Debismitha,
If HR is stuck with their policy, then do one thing: take the address of the police station where they have sent your verification document, contact them, and get it done yourself. Get the report and submit it to HR.
If they deny the increment, then there may be some problem that you need to identify and address. However, I hope this situation does not arise for you.

Dear Sir,
I have informed the higher management that I will arrange for my police verification on my own. They have stated that it is a confidential document and cannot be provided to me directly; it must go through the proper procedure. The issue is that the relevant individual from the police station has already conducted the verification in my hometown. I am unsure of what more they require. I am starting to feel harassed.

Police verification is logged in the register of the police station by the verifying officer. Kindly have it checked by any of your family members or friends. If it is registered, then your employer may have other issues regarding your increment.
Lastly, police verification is not a confidential matter; it simply involves checking your criminal and residence records. You can also request your friend or family member to obtain a duplicate copy or conduct a fresh police verification and send it to you. This can then be submitted to your employer.

I think you need to consider changing your job soon. I do not understand why increments are dependent on police verification, unless of course, you are in a very sensitive position. It seems your boss does not value you and is seeking excuses to deny you an increment. It's challenging to accomplish anything under such leadership. It might be better to look for a new opportunity.

Hi,
As suggested by Mr. S. Banerjee, you can change your job by quitting your present assignment. Please note that until you have an alternate job lined up, do not decide to leave the organization. Regarding your due increment, if your performance meets the expectations, no company can withhold the annual increment. The police verification report is in no way related to your annual increment.

Hello Ms. Debismitha,
Glad many people have tried helping you out. However, let me also add my points here.
1) Appraisal happens year on year, and the police check would be initiated before an employee joins an organization (at least immediately after joining).
2) Appraisal has nothing to do with your BGV (Background Verification).
3) You can send out a registered post with ACK due to your employer with a copy to his/her immediate manager and the skip-level manager. Tell them the facts and remind them about your rights (in a positive tone). Keep a copy for yourself and after a week or so, on non-receipt of a satisfactory response, send out a reminder cautioning about further legal proceedings (Provided you are ready to leave the job). In most cases, the registered post itself should do. However, if you still need, you can let us know.
Cheers,
Diskhit T G S,
HR Professional.
