Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Change in Notice Period

I have resigned from a known Private Life Insurance Co. and the issue was regarding my Notice Period.

My signed appointment letter which states 1 month and then there was a change in policy which changed to Notice Period to 3 months(intimated thru email). I have not signed any letter which mentions this 3 months Notice Period. So in a sense I have not agreed to the new Notice Period.

But the appointment letter states that employee needs to abide to company policies as amended from time to time.

Does that means I have to give 3 months NP or I can go for a legal option as HR is not agreeing.

You can go for legal option. However, any change in the employment terms and conditions has to be done according to the labour laws. I believe based on the situation you have mentioned your employer has not fulfilled the same.
