Sir I have resigned Punjab and sind bank during probation period after working 2 months.
I got following information from my branch office:-
This has reference to your letter dated 26.11.2010, vido which you have forwarded the request letter dated 26.11.2010 of the above named whereby he has submitted his resignation form bank services and has requested to relieve him immediately, thus waiving the balance notice period.
In this context, we may inform you that competent authority has accepted his resignation by waiving the balance of notice period, in lieu of deposit of amount equivalent to three months salary. He may be relieved form bank’s services immediately, subject to adjustment of all the liabilities outstanding against his name in terms of staff circular no 1350 dated 14.02.1984. Therefore, in addition to deposit of amount equivalent to balance of notice period, he may also be advised to deposit rs 50000, being the surety amount for leaving bank’s job before three years.
Sir, In my joining letter they have not mention clearly about 3 month notice period, however they have mention that you would be govrned by few regulation of banks.
Sir, In my resignation letter I have not mention about waiving of balance period.
Sir, I have left my branch.
Sir, I have to joing somwhere else immediately.
Sir, should I wait for legal notice, or I have to pay entire money.

If there is any notice period is mentioned in the rules of the employees, you are bound by it. Normally there will be notice period, the period may vary. However you have to pay the salary in lieu of the notice period. For the claim of Rs.50,000/-, please check with the rules. If nothing is stated in the rules, you need not pay.
However they will send you a notice quoting the rules. After that you can consult a lawyer.

Notice period is not separately mentioned, but you are bound by the service regulations of the Bank. Hence the notice period is applicable in your case. As regards claim of Rs.50000 under the bond executed by you, whether the bank can enforce such claims is a matter of legal dispute. If you have to join with your new employer, if he is aware of fact that you were in service of the Bank, he will insist for a clear relieving certificate. Bank will not give you clear relieving certificate unless you these amounts. If a clear relieving certificate is not of immediate requirement, you can wage a legal battle. It is for you to decide.
