Hi everyone,

I’m in a difficult situation and hoping someone with knowledge of Indian labour laws or similar experiences can offer some guidance.

I recently joined a company in Mumbai and unfortunately fractured my leg after 15 days of joining. I immediately informed my employer and provided a doctor’s note advising four weeks of rest.

Ten days after informing them of my injury, I received a termination letter, stating my employment was being ended. I am still within my probation period.

I’m quite concerned about this as I am still recovering and unable to work. I’m unsure about my rights in this situation, especially being on probation.

Has anyone experienced something similar in India? What are my options? Should I be looking into labour laws or is there anything else I should consider?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi. I’m a Delhi based lawyer. On what ground has your employment been terminated? Does the letter cite injury as the reason?

Because of injury they have terminated me. They sent me an email where it is mein that they are terminating me because of my fracture.

And what does your employment contract say in this regard? Is the dismissal during probation in line with the contract? What about notice period and compensation?

With respect to injury it doesn’t mentioned anything. On probation they can remove me by giving 7 days notice period.
