1. Serve a lawyer's notice to the employer to release the salary forthwith.

2. If the salary is not paid even after lawyer's notice then the only remedy will be to file a suit for recovery of money in the civil court.

Without salary there is no use of working or being employed anymore.

The salary payment is the main criteria for any employment and if this condition is violated then the employment terms and conditions stand violated by the employer. You hav al rights to claim your salary and arrears of salary by first issuing a legal demand notice, You may even resign your emplyment on this ground.

If the employer is not paying the salary you may drag him to court seeking relief and remedy.

He has to answer the court of law and cannot escape the liability.

Contact a local advocate dealing with service matters for further advise and steps to be taken in this regard..
