So I received an offer letter from my company along with a rough draft of the service (on an A4 paper). They told me to sign it, scan it, and send it back to them so that they could prepare the official bond. I did that. After I joined, they handed me the bond with my name and my dad's name on it and told me to get it signed within a week and submit it to them. According to the bond, I have to be with the company for 2 years, or if I leave, I have to pay 50k INR.
However, after joining, I found the location to be horrible, and I was not comfortable working there. So I emailed HR that I wouldn't be continuing. P.S. I didn't sign the bond they gave me, which had an official stamp (and was on legal paper).
My Question
Can they ask me to pay 50K as per the bond or not? Because when I talked to HR, he told me that I would receive a notice from the company. I am really confused! Please help.

The company cannot get any money from you. First thing is that the agreement has only a scanned signature. You are not a bonded laborer that they can take money from you. Give your resignation and quit. If notice is received, give a legal reply through your advocate.
