You have to pay 15 days salary for every year of completed service

There is no specific law which sets for payment as per the any such scheme.

It depends upon company to company own rules and guidelines.

Under section 25 F of the Industrial Disputes Act, retrenched workers are entitled to 15 days' wages for each completed year of service.

Try to mutually settle it any amount you feel. If they don't agree then you need to pay then what is legally outstanding to them.

Dear Client,

Above process amounts to retrenchment, comes under section 25F of the Industrial Dispute Act.

The workman has been paid, at the time of retrenchment, compensation which shall be equivalent to fifteen days' average pay for every completed year of continuous service or any part thereof in excess of six months; and

Notice in the prescribed manner is served on the appropriate Government or such authority as may be specified by the appropriate Government by notification in the Official Gazette.
