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.
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 civil 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?
Looks like they sold it to debt collections who are faking the court notice (most likely). Most court records are digitized these days so you can check online. But there 99% chance that it's fake. I got a similar thing for non payment of internet bill when they sold it to collections. Turned out to be totally fake. Court notices aren't served on email.
As far as I know bonds are not legally enforceable in India
They are if company can prove they have spent some amount of money on you training, foreign trip etc .
And you have signed an agreement stating same.
Call the HR of old company, Say your notice and bond is invalid and stop bothering you. Else you will file a case against them for mentally torture and not giving EPF. Bond is not enforceable to you so chill.
Talk first, get a lawyer send a notice if required and you won’t face any issue.
I have faced same and now company paid more than a crore as a fine to government. So take a chill pill
Wow… that much fine company paid…. nice
Yeah try out the same. Forcefully bonds and asking amount is not valid either way even for your training if you haven’t took any paid courses then they have nothing to show as well. Just be bit aggressive on the call and say what I told you. That will end your case.
Apart from that if you are getting any calls or threats record them or if they visit you beat the shit out of them.
What did the notice from the court say? Are you sure the letter is actually from a court?
This is the Mail I got with notice. And the That notice have stamp of Civil court.
“Our Client P******* Technologies Limited has filed Regular Darkhast No. 83/2024 against you in Hon'ble Belapur Court for execution of an arbitration award dated 14/08/2023. Attached herewith is a copy of the summons notice as issued by the Hon'ble Court in the said matter. Service is hereby made on you by way of email.
You may please attend the hearing if you so desire.”
Bro just take help of a lawyer. Or can ask help on LinkedIn there are some community group of lawyers
According to laws, these kind of cases mostly goes in employees favor.
Companies can only ask for a reasonable bond amount if they've provided you some training during your onboarding - that's what the law says
but If case stand in the court this might take time for court result. This will affect my Career ,time and Money also
How it'll affect your career?
I also had a bond of 2 lakh rupees with a company.
They didn't gave me my last 3 months of salary during my notice period.
My new employer understood my problem that why i don't have any experience letter.
Post this in reddit r/legal and take help of a lawyer immediately
I resigned from TCS within 1 year and got notice after around 3 years i got a notice from India Law on behalf of TCS for breaching service bond agreement this India Law is third party not court
What what ?? TCS like companies also involved in such cheap things
So what happened next?
Court notices aren't sent on email. If you don't mind sharing, what's the email-id it was sent from?
If you have the time and resources to spare, hire a lawyer and you can send the company a notice back citing contempt of court due to falsification of a court order.
this is why I tell people not to take these things lightly, so many people just keep flying in the air without understanding consequences of their actions
At that time that company took the advantage of of our situation. and that much Low salary for 3 years till date. I definitely cannot live in Mumbai
