UEmployer forced me to resign over a call and paid decent severance of around 6 months.
This happened last year and was supposed to be confidential. I have the call recordings for the meeting. I am settled in another job now.
What legal action can be taken here? I want this practice to be stopped in Indian companies.

UWhile forced resignations can be challenged under constructive dismissal laws, accepting that 6-month severance package likely complicates your case. The recordings are good evidence, but signing resignation docs + taking severance means you technically “agreed” to the terms.
Quickest path forward? File a complaint with the Labour Commissioner. They can investigate without you diving into lengthy litigation. But being honest — with decent severance received and new employment secured, courts may not prioritize your case since you weren’t left hanging.
Just check any NDAs you signed during severance first – some have clauses restricting legal action. And definitely talk to a local employment lawyer for specific advice on your situation.
Not formal legal advice, just sharing my experience.

UI did sign an NDA. That was the precondition for the severance. I was under so much pressure and in shock that i did everything that they asked for.
I think they have all their bases covered and nothing can be done.
