This query is : Resolved
Good Afternoon,
I have just completed my Executive MBA and have been selected in MNC.
They have asked me to undergo a 2 year bond.
I have 2 queries-
a. First they have not yet given me appointment letter. So if I sign the bond, does the bond be relevant even without signing the appointment letter?
b. Second, they have just given me 21 days class room training and the bond amount is 1 lakh. Will it be justifiable in Court?
Please reply as I am looking for a better option eleswhere but right now cant say no to them as I dont have much options.
I might get an offer in some good MNC after 1 month but right now can't take the risk of leaving the current job.
Is this bond legal? If I break the bond, do I have to pay the money? The current employer is pressurizing me to sign the bond ASAP without giving me the appointment letter.

Bonds are legal and enforceable. If you break the bond you will have to pay the money.
It is advisable not to sign any such bonds. If your employer is pressurizing you to sign the bond, you meet the top officials of the organization and request them to exempt you from signing the bond.
Or else you look for some other company.

Once you sign the bond, you will not be in a position to wriggle out of the obligations undertaken by you thereunder. So be careful and consider all the pros and cons before executing any such bond.
