I resigned from my job in February and sent a notice email. However, I did not specify my last working day. The company's policy requires a 3-month notice period. I asked the company to inform me of my last working day at their discretion. I never requested a shorter notice period and assured them I would provide as much notice as necessary. The company decided that I should work until the end of March. I completed all necessary paperwork by the end of March and finalized the exit process. Unfortunately, my final month's salary has not been paid. Upon requesting my Full and Final (F&F) settlement, the company is now insisting that I should compensate them for not fulfilling the entire notice period. I only have the email in which I submitted my resignation. They have not provided any written acknowledgment and have only communicated verbally. What steps can I take in this situation?

There is nothing much that can be done if you let such important instructions remain verbal.
How much are you due as Fn F and how much is the one-month notice that is to be paid? You may have to strike a compromise with the company.
It is not clear when you say you resigned - what is the date of resignation you specified?

The object of the obligatory clause of notice in the matter of exit is to enable the other to find out an alternative option. When you know well that the notice period to be served by you is 3 months, without mentioning the proposed date of your relief as per the contract, you have asked the management to exercise their discretion in the matter, which can also be understood as you are prepared to pay for the unexpired period of notice if any in the event of your earlier relief.
The management would have thought it possible to search for a substitute within a month or so while verbally asking you to be with them till the end of March. They would have actually found out a better substitute for you and therefore relieved you, withholding the last month's salary in lieu of the unexpired notice period. The management just played smart. It's better to try for a compromise as suggested by Mr. Rao.
