1) you are covered under definition of workman under ID Act, you will be entitled to retrenchment compensation which is equivalent to 15 days wages for each completed year of service beside notice pay.

2) issue notice through a lawyer claiming retrenchment compensation and do raise an industrial dispute on illegal termination of your services in case company does not respond to legal notice

It is painful to note how people are denied their lawful earnings in this country. You can only recover the unpaid salary and other dues from the company. The company can dismiss a contract worker at anytime. If you go to court now they will claim that you violated the contract, The legal battle will be long drawn and the result of it will be uncertain. Furthermore, you do not have money to file and prosecute the case to a logical conclusion. After years of legal battle you may end up spending thousands if not lakhs and yet the court may rule against you. So my advise to you will be to find another job.

If you have been employed by a contractor then you cannot file any case agaisnt the company instead you can sue the contractor alone.

You have to see the conditions of the contract based on which you can initiate legal action for violation or breach of conditions of contract and can file a recovery suit too.

Consult a local lawyer practicing service law and take his advise on further issues.
