Are there any risks of losing my labor dues if I sign the cancellation form before receiving them?

Good afternoon,

I have noticed the following clause in the cancellation form and would like to ask whether it could potentially affect the complaint file in the future:

I certify that I have received all my dues up to date.

Hello,

Please be informed that the clause stating "I certify that I have received all my dues up to date" in the cancellation form is a standard and routine declaration.

It does not waive your legal entitlement to any outstanding labour rights, provided that you are able to substantiate your claims with appropriate evidence or documentation.

Yes, signing a clause stating that you have received all your dues may potentially be used against you in any future complaint or legal claim, especially if not challenged in time.

Good afternoon, and thank you for your message.

This clause can indeed create complications if you later decide to file a complaint for any pending dues.

By signing such a declaration, you’re effectively confirming that you have no outstanding claims, which an employer could later use to challenge or reject your case.

However, if you were pressured to sign it or weren’t actually paid in full, there are still ways to challenge it legally—but it will require supporting evidence.

If your dues are still pending or if you’re unsure about the exact impact of what you’ve signed, I strongly suggest we speak further so I can guide you properly and help you protect your rights before taking the next step.

Please reach out to me directly on WhatsApp or by phone so we can discuss this in more detail.
