Legal Question in Employment Law in India
On 17th December'12 my ex employer has wrongly credited around rs.80000 in my account (I have left the company 11 months back). I was not in the city starting few days back they credited the amount in my account till 22nd Feb'13. I was in my home town during that period where I didn't have any internet connectivity in my vicinity. My phone was also not working due to roaming issues. When I checked my mail from cyber cafe I received their mail saying that they wrongly credited some amount in my account and they needed refund through cheque. I replied them saying I was not in city and because the cheque book is back in city I couldn't write them a cheque. I exchanged many mails assuring them I would help them retrieve their money as soon as I am back in the city.
After returning to the city now, I received a legal notice saying that I'm willfully not returning their money and they want refund with 24% annual interest.
Please show me the way to reply them. I intent them to send me an apology letter for sending me legal notice and asking me for an interest when I was continuously in touch with them reassuring return of money.
Awaiting response.

You can simply return the money by issuing a cheque and reply to the letter demanding apology.

Dear Sir / Madam,

You may explain the situation saying that the mistake was on the part of the Company to have wrongly transferred monies to your A/c and immediately arrange to return back the money to the Company without any further delay.
