Broke Employment Bond: Legal Notice from Previous Employer

Back in 2021, I joined a small company as a fresher with a promised CTC of 3.2 LPA and a 3-year bond. However, after joining, I discovered the actual base pay was only 1.8 LPA, and my monthly salary was just 10,500₹. So, after five months, I broke the bond and joined Accenture as a fresher.

Now, almost three years later, the previous company's advocates are sending me notices demanding 3 lakh rupees as bond repayment, and I even received a notice from the court yesterday.

I'm not sure what to do next. Do you think this will affect my future job prospects?

I have records of that company in my PF account, but I don't consider it as part of my work experience.

Do you think future employers will ask for documentation for all companies listed in my PF records?

Hi, I'm sorry, I can't answer your question from a future employment perspective, but please be aware you're not legally obligated to pay the bond amount

Thank You so much. Your comment made feel me better. Now I am not replying or accepting their advocates notices. That’s ok? right?

Ordinarily, yes, but I would recommend using your employment contract and the notice looked at professionally once just to be doubly sure
