Received money for providing job

Good question.  Waiting for the experts advise.

Almost all the recruiting agencies, be it private, govenment or quasi Government, collect a sizable amount as appliction fees eventhough the number of vacancies are in hundreds or thousands. There is no restriction for such advertisements. The cruiting agencies may be asked to make use of the Employment Exchanges where the job seekers have have expressed their willingness for the job and waiting in que. 

The companies are not prohibited under any law to do so. Thanks to unemployed persons awaiting employment ,the private companies are also following PSU pattern. When Civil Service examination, bank examination etc., are for cost, I do not think it will be wrong. But the company should justify that they conduct a selection by a standard process. if that is done even if dragged to litgation the charging cannot be faulted. They will claim right under Article 19(1) (g) of the constitution, subject to reasonable restrictions.

There is no regulation which prohibits collection of fee along with job application form.

But if the collection is to cheat the applicants i.e, after collecting if they don't call for interviews/no vacancies at all/no communication/closing of shop after collection- then we initiate action.

Normally Firms collect application fee if they are conducting a written exam or go for a more  screening  tests/expect more competitiors (to restrict applications) etc.,
