Dear Sir / Madam,
I have entered in service bond with Company and the bond was on Rs. 100 NON JUDICIAL stamp paper. Condition is to serve the company for 2 years otherwise Rs. 2.00 Lac penalty. While appointing the company didnot give me salary increase saying that it cannot be adjusted with branch salary strucutre. Keeping faith I joined the company. Secondly, company didnot give me any technical training. Besides this, the employess joined after me in other division in same branch got almost 30% salary hike than me. The new employees were less experienced and less educated than me. I resigned after 13 months of service. I served complete notice period and submitted all company property safely to company. But company held all my dues and asking me to pay the bond amount. After follow up with top people at company, HR gave me relieving letter but still dues are not paid. This is going on since 6 months. What should I do to recover my dues from Company ? Appointment letter doesnot say single word about Bond. Please advice.

Employment Bond is illegal and the company can not do anything with it. Regarding full and final settlement, what all amounts other than last month's salary are pending from the company is not clear from the post. If the amount due is negligible, you can even drop it since you have got your certificate and relieving order. For settlement of PF accumulations do not bother to reach the company HR; you can draw it otherwise also. However, if the amount is such that can not be written off easily, then you can keep on asking for the same saying that you are formally relieved and the question of bond does not arise at all.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I m new to this site....came here in search of one question, related to this topic. Please help me out.
Can any company ask the employee to sign a bond few months after his recruitment when this was not informed during recruitment.
What can be the maximum limit that the employee has to pay if he break the bond?...can this amount be above his annual salary?
Can any company ask the employee to sign a contract that he/she will not join any of his competetors or companies in the same product line, when he/she will leave the company?...is it feasble...for an example if a person is specialized as Trainer in BPO process then obviously he/she will join any other BPO as a trainer only and cannot go in anyother sector or anyother field.

Sunil, please have continuous talk with the Chiefs until your payment is settled.
Noopur,
As already stated when bond itself is illegal there is no question of when it is signed.
If there is a condition of service, the maximum amount recoverable from the employee is the training costs incurred by the employer in respect of that employee.
Just like bond, an agreement preventing the employee from joining a competitor is also illegal. Every one has right to work with any employer of his like.

Dear noopur,
from your post it seems that you are referring to non disclosure agreement between employee and employer. in this employer do ask employee not to reveal confidential info/know how to third party/outsider/competitor even after leaving the organisation. but it does not say that you cannot join competitor or in same sector.
seniors pls correct me if i am wrong.

Nishu,
Yes thats right....the contract that speaks about the confidentiality & conflict of Interest is fine but the contract that says you cannot join competetors or the companies in same process line that then processes like headhunting etc. will have no meaning...
:-)
I guess every1 here would be more experience than me...so I used the word Seniors :-)
