Hi everyone, I need practical advice on what to do next against my former employer in India.

My timeline:

* Joined: 10 June 2021

* Resigned: 19 February 2026

* Last working day: 20 March 2026

I completed my full notice period properly. I reported to office, completed assigned work, gave daily EODs, completed KT, and even have acknowledgment on some of this.

After my exit, I emailed HR multiple times for:

* Full & Final settlement statement

* deduction breakup / clarification

* relieving letter

* experience letter

* gratuity processing

What has happened so far:

* They shared salary slips

* They did not explain deductions

* They did not share F&F statement

* They did not share relieving or experience letter

* They have not replied properly on gratuity

For gratuity:

* My service period was from 10 June 2021 to 20 March 2026

* That is about 4 years, 9 months, 10 days

* I understand there is a 4 years + 240 days/continuous service position in some cases

* I already emailed them my filled Form I PDF

* I have also escalated internally to senior management, but there is still no reply

As of now, it has been more than a month since my last working day and they are largely non-responsive.

My questions:

1. What should be my next practical step now?

2. For F&F, deductions, and pending documents, what is the best complaint route?

3. For gratuity, should I move to the labour authority / controlling authority now if they still stay silent?

I have email records, salary slips, timeline proof, and notice-period/KT communication.

I want to proceed in a clean and professional way without damaging my position. Any practical guidance from people who have handled similar cases would really help.
