Dear Sir,
Good morning, all of you.
I worked in a private limited company for the past 11 months. When I joined, I gave a security deposit for one year equivalent to one month's salary, which was to be returned after completing one year. The company's policy stated that if an employee resigned before completing one year, the deposit would be forfeited. However, I did not resign; instead, I was terminated. I only had 11 days left to complete my one year at the company. My last month's salary and deposit were forfeited, and I was told to take legal action. Please guide me on what legal steps I can take in this situation.
Thank you.
