This query is : Resolved
i have entered into a service bond of 1 lac for 2 years in Aug 2016 in XYZ company Patna, given it on Rs 1000 stamp paper. Since after working for approx 1.5 month i have decided to quit the job/organisation due to following reasons- delay in Salary payment process, mental harassment (transferred thrice in a month, no amount was paid by company for household shifting), No TA/DA for marketing job- have to pay from my pocket, negligible future growth and my health reason (suffering from pleural effusion).
I have left the organisation without giving any notice in the month of Oct due to above foresaid reason now the company has send me the notice in order to deposit Rs 1 lac amount. is there any way to come out of such bond. since it is a matter of my future I can’t see it spoiling like this. Please advice.

You have signed by your free will.
The company has merely cited the signed document.
The Bond ( Or service agreement or Indemnity Bond etc etc ) was drafted in lieu of what extra ordinary benefit by the company?
Do you have copy of job advt, job application, interview call letter, offer letter, appointment letter, Service bond,
service rules, standing orders applicable to establishment etc etc?

Have you narrated the reasons while in employment, during separation or even later, in writing and under proper acknowledgment?

The reasons explained by you may render employer unworthy of being employed with.
Rest the Bond needs to be examined.
Relief might be possible.
