yes breaking bond is illegal but people do and face the consequences. As you know any counrt in India will take years to settle the issue by that time you must have grown up to new heights and even the court award against you nothing to worry. Your new employment must b much much better placed and instead of continuing with a job which is not giving you any challenges it is better to take a calculated risk. Before signing a bond and issuing a blank cheque always think ten times and consult your seniors. Sitting late is common now in industrial scenario but if it is a job which you did not like and will not give you challenges there is no point in wasting your energy. Look for your cup of tea!!!

Do you have a photocopy of the cheque you gave to the organization? To the best of my knowledge, an undated cheque cannot be invoked by the organization ! Please cheque the correct position on this with your lawyer. Unless the organization initiates your separation, you would certainly lay yourself open to legal action, at least civil if not criminal. You would probably win in the end, but would have to face the nuisance in the meanwhile.
Since many of the suggestions given to you, though practical, are not very professional, I would not like to comment on them. All I can say is, create a situation in which the organization prefers you leave rather than you taking the action of separating. (Falling ill and remaining absent every now and then is a fairly good reason).

Hi,
As mentioned above -
1. Please check the terms of Employment in your appointment letter and Bond.
2. Consult a lawyer and take his advice - be legally correct
3. Learn from your mistakes and do a background check on the company you are joining.

Yes true.You should not take hasty decision.Anywhere you work you will have + & - ves.So take little more time.
I would sujjest that while you are there just inform HR that these are your concerns and see the responses.Keep all communications in writing.

Close the bank account and simply resign the job and leave the company by stating that Medically I am not feeling well. Then they can’t do any thing upon u.

Hello dude,
just get that cheque canceled from your respective Bank. I am sure you have that cheque reference with you.
Afterwards you need to search a job and you need not show this company as your previous employer.
Here it can be two cases. If you show this as your present employer than your next employer will need its relieving letter. You can strike a deal with them if they are willing to buy it out. Or tell them the exact situation and switch on minimum hike. And of possible try to convince the HR to get you a offer of back date(it is tough to get but many companies do that with a nominal bond of 6 months).
And if you dont show this experience to be counted, than you need to justify your gray tenure. (you just cannot say that you were job less!)
Thanks and Regards

Dear Sir,
Bonded labour is not permitted under Indian Law and any act by the employer will deemed to be considered as an offence under Bonded Labour Act. It is only training bond, where employer has got right to excercise power and can compel the employee to serve minimum tenure with them as agreed upon or else to pay an amount equivalent to the training cost incurred by them. This training bond contract is enforceable in the court of law and all such amount is recoverable from the employee if terms & conditions previously agreed upon are not complied with by the employee.
From your querry , it does not look like a training bond, so nothing to worry off , you may dis-continue at your own accord. If the employers ask for any recovery get it documented and ask them to send it through RPAD. On receipt of any such document , you may file a legal suit stating that employer is coercing to work under shelter of bonded labour act.

AS

my dear,
do not worry. No company can keep you under bond as it violates bonded labour act. I remember, just check it ; such case was dismissed at Chandigarh high court few years back. Go tho your appointment letter and the date you mentioned in the cheque (i don't think date was there). Any progress on that, then contact me.
wish you all the best.
