Joining Bonus Recovery

Dear All,

Had a Query on Joining Bonus.

I was terminated from Service due to the down turn. I was given a Joining Bonus, at the time of joining the organisation which was to be locked in for a period of 3 years to be calculated at a pro rata basis, and subject to realisation in case `of my resignation . This was 10 months back.

Now the Company is trying to recover my Joining Bonus, though they had terminated me, and I have not resigned. Is this Legal ? I seek an advice and legal advocate to help me with this case .

This is in India in Gurgaon in the state of Harayana.

Regards

Ex Capt Shantanu Chakravorty
