Can I Take Legal Action for an Incorrect Experience Certificate from My Company?

My company provided me with the experience certificate with the wrong time period, for example, from 12th December 2009 to 24th June 2009. I have already paid the bond money to that company. So, I would like to know if I can take action against this company for the mistake they made in my favor.

Greetings,

Please write back to the company for a corrected experience certificate and attach the release document, including the resignation you submitted with them and all the communications you had thereafter. This error might be a result of misinformation or simply a typo. So, initially, submit the data and request the correct letter.

This process should work, although it might take some time as the HR department may need to review the information you provide before issuing you a new letter. However, it should eventually reach you.

This is a current "trend" just like foreplay in movies to add the spices. More tilt is on the process side instead of pavements for the results. Also, there is a basic problem in the Indian education system depicted below in short.

Say, to score 55% marks in the University of Mumbai, Surat, or Bangalore is much more difficult than to score the same from universities located in NCR, Rajasthan, or the northeastern parts of India. But when it comes to corporates, the same benchmark is weighed upon. "A person below a 55% score is not deemed fit to appear for a written interview." The rest is circus.

Regards + thanks

Dear Sundaran,

Settlement is always better than legal action, and so (Cite Contribution) has a good solution for you. Once you initiate legal action, the company will have a designated person and enough resources. However, I wonder if you can devote that much time and resources to handle this situation.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Sundaran,

As suggested, kindly settle the issue by requesting them for a correction in the letter rather than making an issue out of it. This must have been an error in typing.

Hi Mr. Sundaran,

As suggested by some of our friends, the best possible way will be to speak to the HR Department about this. I am sure they will definitely see to it that the necessary changes are made.

What makes you feel that the company has purposely issued you a wrong experience certificate? I feel it is a stupid mistake of a junior employee who typed your experience certificate, and the manager has blindly signed it. Bring this mistake to the notice of the concerned authorities, and I am sure they will correct it. Do not jump the gun. Anyways, no legal action can be taken at this stage. If they refuse to correct the mistake, then and only then should you consider legal action.

Dear Sujith,

Our senior colleagues have correctly suggested the right path for you. Please follow this path and resolve your problem. Taking legal action may not garner sympathy from the court for such a minor mistake. In fact, the court could reprimand you for being too inflexible. I urge you to remain calm, visit your former office, and address the matter in person. A single composed visit should suffice to obtain a revised certificate.

Sincerely,
Shyam Agrawal

This is correct because June always comes before December in a year. Please provide details of your actual working period.

Request HR for a corrected letter within a reasonable timeframe (say within a month). If no reply comes, you can issue a legal notice to them for the mischief as well as demand back the bond money that was paid. Any employee bond is illegal. The Supreme Court of India has held that every citizen has a right to better job opportunities and cannot be held in bondage, let alone be required to make payments for the release of bonds. I am advising all companies not to impose any employment bonds as they are not enforceable in a court of law.
