I worked for a product company in Gurgaon for around 2 years. I resigned from the job and served a 2-month notice. After 1.5 months into my notice period, the company offered me a promotion and a salary hike. However, I did not accept the offer in writing. I took a few days to consider and ultimately rejected the offer on almost my last day of notice. The HR informed me that I couldn't leave until they found a replacement but did not provide a tentative relieving date. After completing my notice period, I informed HR that I would not be coming to the office anymore as I had to join my new company.
I have my resignation email as well as the email I sent on the last day. However, the HR is now withholding my relieving letter, FnF, and ESOPs that were vested during my employment. Can I take any legal action against my employer?

Yes, you can. Under the Shop and Establishment Act, you can take action. Contact your local Labor Inspector and lodge a complaint. Also, if wages are less than 18,000, a case under the Payment of Wages Act can also be made. Additionally, a civil suit under the Indian Contract Act can also be lodged.
