Dear Mr.Baiju,

Under no circumstances has your Employer any right to withhold your personal Educational Certificates. You may request in writing to your Employer, for return of the Certificates and also mention the reason you want them returned (i.e for pursuing your higher studies). If the same is not returned then you may approach the Labour Dept and complain about the same. Hopefully it should then get resolved, but it would surely displease your Employer.

For further clarification, you may mail to [email protected] or call on 050 2104389.

Best Regards,
