Hi,
I am Revenue Accountant in Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd, a Public Sector enterprise( formerly Punjab State Electricity Board). I have joined my present service in Nov 2012... there was no bond clause in advertisement published by PSPCL. But at the thime of offer letter, they inserted a bond clause of 2 years. They infact retained our original certificates and deny to retuen back even a request made by me to them in May 2013. Now, I am selected as Section officer, Department of finance, Punjab Government. I have heard about DPE guidelines and transferablity of bond. But inspite of my requests, PSPCL officilas are in no mood of listening anything and demanding from me bond amount near about 2 lakhs which also includes induction training cost..
Now my question is :
1.What should I do now because my original certificates are with them and they are in no mood of relieving me without taking bond money?
2. If i pay now, whether any remedy available to me later on by demanding money paid under bond?
3. Training provided to us was very general in nature like giving service tax, income tax, contract act knowledge to CA Final/Inter student. So whether it comes under scientic training and technical training term meaning thereby value addition to employee??
4. Can a bond clause is valid if was not there in Advertisement but later on inserted in offer letter??
5. There was drafting mistake in offer letter. Offer letter itself mention about demanding back all salary paid to employee incase he leaves before 2 years and also mentions to execute bond for this which states maximum amount is of 3 months pay. How much they can demand???
