Most employment disputes have a government door, even when the employer is private. The labour commissioner can act on statutory bonus that was declared but never paid. EPFO and ESIC are public authorities, so RTI reaches their records directly. For central government retirees, the chain of CPAO, the bank's central pension processing cell and the CPENGRAMS portal decides how fast pension money moves. The guides in this category show which door fits which problem, and in what order to knock.
The problems covered fall into three groups. First, the employer's paperwork used against you: an absconding letter issued despite a clean resignation, background verification stuck because a previous employer or a university will not reply, and an adverse BGV report built on wrong facts that you can challenge. Second, money the employer owes: declared bonus left unpaid and a campus offer withdrawn after you accepted it. Third, retirement money the system owes: the commutation lump sum not paid along with the first pension, and full pension not restored after 15 years, two separate failures with separate fixes.
Health claims under CGHS or an employer policy are not handled here. For those, start with insurance or healthcare billing.
