📌 The Answer:
✅ No! An employer CANNOT withhold or delay salary without a valid reason. 🚨 Under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 and Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, employees must be paid on time unless there’s a legal justification like:
✔️ Unapproved absences – Unpaid leave or absconding from work ⏳
✔️ Company financial crisis – Only if officially declared under insolvency laws 🏛️
✔️ Disciplinary action – If proven guilty of workplace misconduct ⚖️
✔️ Contractual agreements – If the employment contract allows deferred payments 📜

❌ Verbal excuses don’t count! Employers must provide written justification 📄
❌ Partial payments are illegal unless agreed upon in writing ✍️
❌ Holding salary for resignation notice is unfair unless mentioned in the contract 🚫
