Hi Everyone,
I had been working for an IT company for about 1.1 years. When I joined, I signed a document stating that I have to serve for 2 years, and if I leave before that, I have to pay 3L.
I have now submitted my resignation, and they have asked me to complete the project first before we can discuss further. I have completed the project and shared all the necessary documents with them. They informed me that "08April20" was my last working day. Since then, I have been requesting my documents (relieving certificate and original mark sheet).
The reason for my resignation was that the company was not paying my salary (8 months' pending salary for me). I was unable to manage my expenses, so I decided to look for another job, and fortunately, I found one. However, they are now not cooperating in providing me with my relieving/experience letter and original mark sheet.
Please suggest what I can do to obtain my relieving/experience letter and original mark sheet.

They have no legal right to retain your original marksheets. Non payment of salary is also a civil offence. Take legal advice and pursue the matter.

Acquiring an Owner's Original Documents/Certificate, then seizing it/them, and withholding the same in spite of requests and reminders undoubtedly amounts to "stealing the property" of the affected owner and is a gross offense under the law. Therefore, the lawbreaker ought to be brought to book lawfully, and new recruits in the working populace need to be alerted.
